Scores are category averages, not hours or controlled measurements. Different vote samples are not a head-to-head wear test. “Unique” notes here means absent from the other record, not proof of a formula difference.

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.

INCEPTION

Ingredients disclosed by the brand

Alcohol, Perfume, Aqua (water)

The official 100 mL product page provides only these three base ingredients. This limited inventory is not a complete allergen or formula declaration and is excluded from full-list comparisons. Check the received package label.

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.
