Our take

Melted Magic opens with a contradiction that some will love and others will find off-putting. The fig here is not the fresh, green fruit of a summer garden. It arrives thick and syrupy, leaning heavily into the sweet accord before the bergamot even has a chance to lift it. Composed by Constance Georges-Picot, this unisex release can feel a bit clumsy at first, as the promised woody aromatic structure struggles to emerge from a sticky, almost jam-like opening. It lacks the immediate elegance you might expect from a new launch, presenting a dense wall of sugar that requires patience to navigate.

Once the initial heaviness subsides, the fragrance settles into a brighter, more textured space. The Brazilian rosewood and jasmine introduce a floral woodiness that cuts through the fruit, while the orris brings a distinct powdery quality to the heart. This is where the scent finds its identity, moving away from a simple gourmand profile and into something more complex. It feels appropriate for a sunlit room where light catches the dust in the air, creating a warm, intimate atmosphere that is cozy without being overwhelming. The cashmere musk adds a soft fabric feel to the skin.

The transition to the base reveals a deep, balsamic warmth driven by amber and musk. It suits someone who enjoys a scent that feels like a second skin, soft and slightly animalic, rather than a sharp statement piece. Those who prefer crisp, clean linens or sharp citrus should look elsewhere, as this blend stays true to its resinous roots. It is a fragrance that wraps around you, leaving a trail of sweet, woody comfort. The experience closes on a persistent, powdery iris note.
