perdido

Perdido portrays recognising the importance of something once taken for granted after it disappears. Kilesa asks where the lost sun has gone. Bright peel and leaves lead through flowers and spice towards the gentler depth of roots and resin.

Orange, petitgrain and mandarin open with sweeter citrus peel beside greener leaves. Neroli, rose, star anise and bay create the heart, placing aromatic leaves around flowers and sweet spice. Musk, amber, angelica root and benzoin form the base, connecting soft texture and warmth with shaded roots and resinous sweetness.

It suits an evening when citrus with a quieter resinous and rooted foundation feels appealing. The brighter opening provides contrast around this gentler finish. The rounded 50 mL clear-glass bottle carries a black cap and its name printed directly on the front.
