Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a bright and sparkling burst. Bergamot provides an immediate citrusy zing, while litchi adds a sweet, watery, and slightly tropical fruitiness. The ginger introduces a subtle, fresh-spicy kick that prevents the opening from being purely sweet, giving it a lively, effervescent quality.
As the fragrance settles into its heart, the floral character takes center stage. The peony offers a lush, petal-soft pink floralcy, which is beautifully complemented by a classic, slightly dewy rose. The surprise of the composition emerges here: a soft, powdery cacao note that reads more like an unsweetened cocoa butter, adding a smooth, comforting, and slightly cosmetic creaminess to the floral bouquet.
In the final hours, the fragrance rests on a base of patchouli. This patchouli is not dark or earthy in a heavy way; instead, it provides a clean, woody, and slightly camphoraceous foundation that grounds the airy florals. The overall effect is a soft, warm, and lingering skin scent that retains a subtle sweetness from the litchi and cacao.
Performance Dashboard
Longevity data is not yet available for this pre-release fragrance. Based on the composition, the fresh and fruity top notes suggest a moderate lifespan, but the patchouli base could provide extended wear. User reports will be essential to confirm.
Projection data is not yet available. As a daytime-oriented Eau de Parfum, Aphrodite is expected to project at a moderate level, likely radiating an arm's length for the first few hours before settling closer to the skin.
Sillage data is not yet available. The composition of fresh florals and fruity notes typically projects closely to the skin, creating a personal scent bubble rather than a room-filling presence.
