Compare the labels

Ingredients, side by side.

Read the declared lists for the editions shown. Shared entries do not mean identical formulas, proportions or scent.

The brand publishes an ingredient inventory rather than an ordered packaging label. Read each declaration below; these disclosure levels are not directly comparable.

Brand-published botanical ingredient inventory, preserved in the website order; an ordered packaging INCI declaration has not been independently verified. Some materials are named as botanical extracts or blended fruit/flavor compounds without their internal constituents. The source says ingredients may be subject to change. Product title and description identify this as perfume oil; a generic eau de parfum category label on the page is not used as its concentration.

These are published ingredient declarations, separate from scent notes. “Parfum” or “fragrance” can represent a mixture without listing every component. Formulations can change by market and batch; check the packaging on your bottle. A matching or missing entry does not establish suitability for an allergy.

Follow your curiosity.
