Fragrance notes
Declared fragrance allergens 25
Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil, Limonene, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes, Linalyl Acetate, Pogostemon Cablin (patchouli) Oil, Linalool, Citrus Limon Peel Oil, Citronellol, Lavandula Oil/Extract, Coumarin, Beta-Caryophyllene, Amyl Salicylate, Citral, Terpineol, Pelargonium Graveolens Oil, Geranyl Acetate, Terpinolene, Citrus Aurantium Peel Oil, Geraniol, Hexadecanolactone, Alpha Terpinene, Camphor, Vanillin, Rose Flower Oil/Extract, Rose Ketones
EU rules require these fragrance components to be named on the label above a small threshold (the list was extended in 2023). They are common in fine fragrance; if your skin reacts easily, spray on clothes rather than skin, or patch-test first.
Other things in the bottle
- UV filters (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) protect the juice’s colour and scent from light — they do not protect your skin.
- Colourants (CI 60730, CI 14700, Blue 1, CI 47005) give the liquid its tint.
Shelf life and storage
Most perfumes stay good for years unopened, and usually 3–5 years after opening when kept away from heat and light. Keep the bottle in its box, away from the bathroom and windows. If the colour darkens or the opening smells sharp or sour, it has started to turn. Check the batch code to see when it was made.
