Still Life

by Dora Baghriche

Olfactive Studio Still Life is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Dora Baghriche. The fragrance opens with Pepper, Sichuan Pepper, Yuzu, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Star Anise and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Rum, Amber, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Still Life: Favourite

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.

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.
