This one's proper divisive, love it or hate it. Some reckon it's a classy, modern "your skin but better" scent with a juicy pear opening, while others detect pickles, rancid musk, or a dusty old makeup bag. Definitely one to try before you buy, it smells totally different depending on your skin chemistry.

Inspired by Merit's Retrospect, No. 318 leans hard into the aldehyde-and-orris vintage lipstick accord that made the original a hit, but flattens out fast on skin. The powdery violet-musk heart is there, the pear opening is louder and syrupier, and where Retrospect lingers for hours this fades to a soft skin scent within two to three.
