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.

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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

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

Opium Rouge Fatal opens with a bright, zesty burst of mandarin and bergamot, softened by delicate lily of the valley. This fresh start quickly deepens into a rich, warm heart of spicy clove and carnation, with a resinous myrrh adding complexity. The base settles into a luxurious embrace of sweet vanilla and amber, grounded by earthy patchouli and vetiver, leaving a powerful, lingering trail.
