Santorini

This is one of those perfumes that makes you feel like you’ve traveled somewhere before you’ve even left the house. The opening is an incredibly vivid blend of green fig and tart rhubarb before the coconut quietly melts everything into a creamy, almost sunlit softness. The orris adds an elegant, velvety texture while sandalwood and musk keep everything smooth and sophisticated. I can actually pick out each individual note instead of smelling one blended accord, and that’s part of what makes this fragrance so captivating. The biggest compliment I can give it? I walked into the boutique with completely blocked sinuses, yet this perfume still projected clearly enough for me to appreciate every stage. If a fragrance can do that, it’s doing something right. I’ve never been to Santorini, but if whitewashed buildings, warm stone, sea air, and golden afternoon light had a scent, this is exactly how I’d imagine it. A stunning niche discovery, especially at this price point.

The notes aren't correct bc this scent is very green. It opens with a fig leaf accord: green, sharp, spicy. It softens a bit after a while, and then the fig and coconut make their appearance, but it stays pretty much green and woody.

Just because features fig accord, does not sing like Philosykos. Actually, is not as green, but a bit more ozonic. Greece in a bottle! I am in LOVE 🩵🌊
