In short
A sparkling citrus-orange-blossom that becomes narcotic, honeyed and animalic over a few hours.
Concept
Orange blossom picked at dusk and carried into a fox's den. It opens as fresh as cologne — petitgrain, neroli, bitter orange, green leaves — and the blossom's own indolic heart slowly deepens into civet, castoreum, narcissus and dark earth. Clean freshness turning into animal warmth.

Composition notes
- Key materials. Hedione HC, Iso E Super, Petitgrain Bigarade Oil, Orange Flower Absolute, Civet Absolute
- What makes it distinctive. The animal note emerges from the flower's own chemistry (indole, anthranilate, p-cresol) before the animal materials take over, so the transition reads as one continuous story.
- Character. For evening wear, with a striking, sensual development.
- Concentration. 18–20% (eau de parfum or extrait)
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 5 of its materials: Iso E Super (Restriction: 1-(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 Octahydro-2,3,8,8-tetramethyl-2-naphthalenyl) ethanone (OTNE), Amendment 49); Bitter Orange Oil (Expressed) (Restriction: Bitter orange peel oil expressed, Amendment 49); Vetiveryl Acetate (Restriction: Acetylated Vetiver oil, Amendment 49); Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) (Restriction: Lemon oil cold pressed, Amendment 49); Jasmine Absolute (Grandiflorum) (Restriction: Jasmine absolute (grandiflorum), Amendment 49).
- Phototoxicity. Bitter Orange Oil (Expressed), Lemon Oil (Cold-Pressed) are phototoxic; IFRA limits phototoxic materials in products left on skin exposed to sunlight.
- Skin sensitisation. None of the EU’s long-standing named fragrance allergens is an ingredient in its own right. 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.
