Frisson
Fragrance notes
Character
Frisson is for the person who treats a morning commute as a stage. This unisex scent demands bright light and open air to show its true shape. It opens with mandarin blossom, bergamot, and lemon that feel sharp and immediate. The citrus is not a gentle greeting. It is a clear statement that wakes up the space around you. Composed by Shadi Samra and launched in 2023, the fragrance carries a fresh, aromatic energy that refuses to sit quietly.
The heart brings neroli and rose into the mix, but they do not soften the edges. Instead, they add a white floral layer that keeps the profile clean. As it settles, ambergris and patchouli provide a woody, animalic base that gives the citrus a grounded home. The result is a scent that balances a fresh spicy kick with a deep amber warmth. It feels modern and composed, avoiding the powdery trap that often catches floral blends.
This is a fragrance that smells like sunlight hitting a polished stone courtyard. The air is dry and warm, filled with the scent of trees and blooming flowers growing through ancient cracks. It is a bright, structured garden captured in a single moment.
