Est. 88
Fragrance notes
Character
Est. 88 has a sharp opening that can feel thin and slightly metallic before the rest of the composition settles. Mandarin orange and petitgrain provide a bright, zesty lift, but the cardamom adds a brisk, peppery edge that reads more clinical than cozy. This initial impression can catch someone off guard if they expect a soft, rounded start, and it takes a moment before the heart notes begin to smooth the angles.
The middle reveals rose and lily supported by neroli, creating a floral blend that stays clean and upright rather than lush. The white floral character keeps the mood airy, while the rose adds a gentle warmth that prevents the scent from feeling cold. Vetiver and amber in the base introduce a woody, resinous depth that grounds the flowers without turning heavy. The overall effect is aromatic and green, with the amber offering a faint golden glow beneath the citrus and petals.
A clear daytime choice for someone who prefers florals that stay structured and fresh. It fits a morning walk, a bright office, or a weekend outdoors when the air feels warm but not stifling. Wear it when you want something polished that moves easily from a casual plan to a slightly dressier moment without changing course.
