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.

Spice & Black Vanilla

Not specified by source · United States listing

Ingredients disclosed by the brand

Alcohol, Fragrance (parfum), Water.

The US brand page discloses these three base ingredients only and markets the product as spray cologne without specifying a concentration class. Individual fragrance components and allergens are not itemized; this limited disclosure does not establish their absence or identical formulas across scents. Automatic ingredient comparisons are withheld. Body products are separate; check your packaging.

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.
