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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, Teahupoo isn't overpowering, making it decent for casual wear and excellent for sports. Its fresh, clean profile is well-suited for daytime activities, though some find it too juvenile or synthetic for more formal settings.

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

Teahupoo opens with a bright and zesty blast of bergamot and grapefruit, immediately establishing a fresh and energetic tone. This quickly transitions into a prominent aquatic accord, evoking the feel of sea water without being overly salty or naturalistic. The base settles into a soft, slightly creamy sandalwood, providing a gentle anchor to the otherwise buoyant composition, though the aquatic character persists throughout its lifespan.
