Carnelian (Сердолик)
Fragrance notes
Neroli and mandarin orange lead the opening with a bright citrus tone that feels clean and immediate. The mandarin brings a soft sweetness while the neroli adds a faint bitter edge, keeping the start from becoming simple candy. This phase is fresh and uplifting, moving quickly into the middle without lingering too heavily on the fruit.
White lotus and chamomile form a floral and herbal heart that feels calm and slightly dry. The lotus carries a gentle white floral character, while the chamomile contributes a mild, tea-like quality that softens the sharper edges of the citrus. Together they create a smooth transition that feels natural rather than overworked.
Fig leaf and iris settle in the base with a green and powdery presence. The fig leaf adds a leafy, slightly milky green texture, and the iris brings a soft violet-leaning powder that grounds the composition. The result is a gentle drydown that stays close to skin and maintains the fresh feeling established earlier.
The overall character is citrus, floral, green, and fresh, with clear iris, herbal, powdery, aquatic, white floral, and violet accents throughout. It suits someone who prefers a light, herbal floral over a heavy or sweet perfume. It may not satisfy those looking for deep woods or strong spices. The finish rests on violet.
