  • Benzyl benzoate

Matching ignores capitalization and a small set of water and fragrance naming variants. “Only” refers to these published lists, not proof that an ingredient is absent from the other formula.

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.
