Fragrance components disclosed by the brand
Alfa isometil ionona, Limoneno
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.
