Fragrance components disclosed by the brand

Alfa isometil ionona, Cumarina, Geraniol, Limoneno, Linalol

These components belong to the fragrance mixture above. Their separate disclosure is not an ordered full-product ingredient list.

The source groups disclosed fragrance components in parentheses within Fragrância/Parfum. That grouping is retained separately from the ordered base ingredients, without inferring a complete perfume formula. Scoped only to the sizes listed on this source page; concentration is not explicitly specified. Check the package for current batch wording. Portuguese wording is preserved and excluded from cross-language 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.
