Retrospect

Retrospect opens with bright, aldehydic pear and bergamot that crackle against ambrette's warm amber-animalic edge, creating an almost electric top layer. The heart unfolds into a soft violet and rose heart, grounded by orris's powdery iris and hints of rosemary's green herbality—jasmine adds a creamy, intimate sweetness. As it settles, a gentle musk and moss base emerges beneath vanilla, leaving a clean, slightly earthy warmth that feels nostalgic and intimate rather than loud.
