Prescriptives 1987 EDP
Calyx
Prescriptives Calyx is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1987, created by Sophia Grojsman. Calyx opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Papaya, Bergamot, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Cyclamen, Marigold, Neroli, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Prescriptives's Calyx carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.
Calyx is pure 80s fruity-green exuberance in a bottle, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that screams 'tropical garden after a rainstorm'. It's bold, unapologetic, and divisive, but those who love it, really love it. If you're after something unique and impactful, beware of over-spraying.
