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.

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.
