By the editors · 2 min readPerceive Soleil opens with yuzu's clean citrus brightness, accompanied by ozonic notes and a hint of mandarin that keeps the opening expansive without turning sharp. The heart develops into a soft floral cluster: mandarin blossom adds a delicate sweetness, freesia contributes a light, leafy florality, pink pepper sharpens the edges, and violet leaves bring a cool, greenish undertone.
White tea in the base holds the fragrance in a clean, slightly astringent register, with woody notes and musk providing a barely-there foundation. The overall effect is sheer and airy — a warm-weather feminine that stays close to the skin.
