Full INCI list and functional classes

14 ingredients, in label order. 7 of them are fragrance allergens that EU Regulation EC No 1223/2009 Annex III requires to be declared individually — most occur naturally in rose, bergamot and tonka bean, and the longer that list runs, the more natural fragrance material a formula generally carries.

Alcohol Denat. Denatured alcohol Solvent The main carrier in a fragrance; it is what lets the perfume oils evaporate evenly.

Parfum Fragrance blend Fragrance The collective name for a compounded fragrance. Any declarable allergens inside it are listed separately.

Aqua Water Solvent The bulk of the formula. Labels write it as Aqua / Water / Eau.

Rosa Centifolia Flower Extract Centifolia rose extract Fragrance The May rose of the Grasse region.

Abies Sibirica Oil Siberian fir oil Fragrance Resinous and green; it is there to hold down the sweetness of the florals.

Santalum Album Oil Sandalwood oil Fragrance The main source of heavy molecules in the base note, and the longest-lasting thing in the bottle.

Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Fruit Oil Bergamot oil Fragrance The top note. The furocoumarins have been removed to avoid photosensitivity.

Linalool Linalool EU declared allergen Fragrance Occurs naturally in lavender, bergamot and rose.

Limonene Limonene EU declared allergen Fragrance The principal constituent of citrus essential oils.

Citronellol Citronellol EU declared allergen Fragrance One of the core molecules behind the smell of rose and geranium.

About the claims on this page This site is a theme demo and Maison Rosée is a fictional house. Every percentage on this page is labelled as a Maison panel test, not the conclusion of a clinical trial. Once you have bought the theme, replace all of it with figures of your own that you can substantiate.

This is a perfume about air. Bergamot and pink pepper carry the cool humidity of the opening; the May rose of Grasse then unfolds slowly in the heart, held in check by the resinous edge of fir so that it never turns sweet; the drydown settles into sandalwood and amber, staying on skin like a thin layer of warmth. Concentration is 28%, an Extrait. Every fragrance allergen the European Union requires to be declared is listed in full on the ingredient panel.

Why perfume declares its allergens

EC No 1223/2009 Annex III lists 26 fragrance constituents that must be named individually on the ingredient panel. They are not “harmful substances”; they are molecules with a relatively higher incidence of contact allergy, so consumers are given the means to look them up. Declaration is required above 0.001% in leave-on products and above 0.01% in rinse-off ones.

Linalool, Limonene, Citronellol, Geraniol, Eugenol, Farnesol and Coumarin on this panel all belong to that list. Most of them occur naturally in rose, bergamot and tonka bean — which is to say that the more honest the declaration, the more natural raw material there usually is inside.
