Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring

Its white floral, citrus and lavender composition leans towards spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent, attention-grabbing profile, driven by strong white florals and a musky vanilla, makes it less suitable for a discreet office environment but perfect for date nights or formal events where presence is desired. Its intensity might be overwhelming for casual wear for some.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Explodes with a bold, bright citrus and neroli punch, quickly ushering in a classic, aromatic lavender heart. This fresh, clean floral core is grounded by a warm, musky vanilla and ambergris base that adds depth and a touch of almost animalic sensuality. It's a striking contrast of crisp, almost masculine floral notes against a rich, sweet foundation.
