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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

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

Jabal Essence opens with a vibrant, peppery kick of bergamot and pink pepper, brightened by a zesty tangerine that instantly wakes up the senses. As it settles, a creamy blend of cedar and sandalwood emerges, softened by the exotic, almost narcotic sweetness of tuberose and ylang-ylang. The dry down is a rich, musky embrace, underpinned by earthy patchouli, a delicate whisper of rose, and a comforting vanilla warmth that lingers beautifully on the skin. It's a journey from sparkling citrus to a deep, woody, and subtly powdery elegance.
