Olfactive Studio Still Life is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Dora Baghriche. Still Life opens with Yuzu, Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Sichuan Pepper, settles into a heart of Star Anise and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, and Rum. Olfactive Studio's Still Life carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This citrus cocktail is wonderfully zesty and bright with a boozy kick, garnering plenty of love letters for its unique yuzu. While some find its performance underwhelming, for many, it's a refreshing summer essential, though a divisive point on longevity.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and clean citrus profile makes it suitable for casual and sport settings, with enough sophistication for a date. The moderate sillage experienced by many reviewers means it won't overpower an office environment, but its lively character is less suited for formal events.

About

Still Life opens with a vibrant, photorealistic yuzu, bursting with a zesty, almost bitter brightness, quickly joined by a lively blend of pink, Sichuan, and black peppers for an invigorating fresh spice. As it settles, a smooth, slightly sweet rum accord emerges, mingling with green galbanum and aromatic star anise, giving it a sophisticated, 'cocktail-like' depth. The base warms with clean cedar and a subtle amber, maintaining a fresh yet grounded character.
