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.

Scoped to the named 100 mL product on the official EU store. The page does not unambiguously specify concentration; other sizes, editions, markets and batches are not covered. Check the received package for its applicable label. Ingredient-column entries from the brand ingredient/function/origin table, preserved in displayed order. This partial inventory does not establish the complete ordered label and is excluded from automatic ingredient-overlap comparisons.

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.
