By the editors · 2 min readMissing Person is a fragrance built around absence — the warm, clean smell of someone else's skin lingering on clothing. Jasmine and bergamot open the composition with a clean, slightly watery quality before neroli and orange blossom deepen the white floral character without adding heaviness.
White musk is the real subject throughout: skin-like, transparent, almost weightless, the kind of musk that reads as a second skin rather than a perfume. The florals exist to give the musk context rather than to define the fragrance themselves. Deliberately uncomplicated, deliberately intimate — Missing Person wears as the quiet memory of a person rather than a fragrance statement. One of the most viral fragrances of its era for good reason.
