Composition notes
- Key materials. Hedione, Ethylene Brassylate, Galaxolide, Helvetolide, Benzyl Salicylate
- What makes it distinctive. A literal, refreshing melon kept honest with cucumber and mint rather than turned into a sweet.
- Character. Fun and light, for a younger audience.
- Concentration. 8–10% (eau de toilette or body mist)
Safety and compliance
- Status. Regulatory assessment pending. No formula-level safety assessment is documented yet, so this page does not say the formula is compliant for any use.
- IFRA Standards. The IFRA Standards Library covers 3 of its materials: Benzyl Salicylate (Restriction: Benzyl salicylate, Amendment 49); Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) (Restriction: Lemon oil cold pressed, Amendment 49); Cyclamen Aldehyde (Cyclamen aldehyde, Amendment 49).
- Phototoxicity. Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) is phototoxic; IFRA limits phototoxic materials in products left on skin exposed to sunlight.
- Skin sensitisation. EU-labelled fragrance allergens present as ingredients: Benzyl salicylate. Natural materials carry further allergens as constituents, declared from the supplier’s data, and Regulation (EU) 2023/1545 extends the list to be labelled on products placed on the EU market from 31 July 2026.
- Product category. Limits depend on the product: fine fragrance, leave-on and rinse-off products have different IFRA categories, and each Standard sets its own figure for each.
