Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Solaris is at its best in spring and summer, with lively citrus and lush florals brightening warm days. Its creamy, sweet base can carry into early fall, but it is less suited to the coldest months.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Refined projection and a radiant, creamy floral character make Solaris versatile for office, casual, and romantic settings. Its sweetness and moderate sillage are less ideal for sports but work elegantly for formal events.

About

Solaris opens with an effervescent burst of blackcurrant and lemon, immediately conjuring the sensation of sunlight on skin. The heart unfolds lush tiare and ylang-ylang, weaving creamy florals with a subtle tropical undertone. As it settles, vanilla and sandalwood form a smooth, comforting base, balancing sweetness with sophistication. The whole composition feels luminous yet grounded, radiant but never brash, evoking the glow of golden afternoon light and effortless modern elegance.
