Retrospective
Fragrance notes
Character
Retrospective opens with green leaves and sparkling water that feel crisp and clean. The freshness stays light and does not weigh down the early wear. Night blooming jasmine enters with a white floral presence that feels smooth and slightly heady. Black currant leaf and gooseberry add a fruity edge that leans tart rather than sugary. Tobacco sits in the heart and brings a dry, faintly rustic character that keeps the florals from feeling too soft. The combination moves between fresh, fruity, and lightly floral without settling into a single clear direction.
The base brings frankincense and balsam fir that add a resinous, woody depth. Cypriol and guaiac wood reinforce the woodiness with a dry, slightly smoky texture. Ambrox super and musk spread a modern, airy warmth across the drydown. The overall scent stays woody, aromatic, and green while the fruity and sweet facets remain close to the surface. It suits cooler days and evening wear, and it works for anyone who enjoys green florals with a tobacco and resinous wood backdrop. People who prefer purely citrus or gourmand profiles will find this blend too dry and too
