Fragrance Profile:
A unisex floral-woody fragrance with a complex, slightly retro character. It juxtaposes a vibrant, fruity-floral opening against a deep, resinous, and unexpectedly camphoraceous base - a nod to Nordic contrasts (light vs. dark, soft vs. stark).
Scandic opens with an abundant and luminous burst. Aromatic Myrtle and fresh White Hyacinth blend with classic Lavender, creating a clean, green starting point. This is soon enriched by a generous fruity chord - juicy Peach, exotic Passionfruit, and tart Raspberry - adding sweetness and vibrancy without becoming syrupy.
The heart reveals a classical, almost vintage floral bouquet. Sandalwood Flower (the blossom of the sandalwood tree) offers a soft, creamy floralcy with woody undertones. Cassia brings a cinnamon-like warmth, while Bulgarian Rose and spicy Carnation create a rich, powdery, slightly old-world elegance.
The base takes an unexpected turn. Warm, resinous Labdanum and sweet Honey provide ambered depth, while White Musk and Heliotrope (with its cherry-almond powderiness) add softness. But the presence of Birch and Camphor introduces a surprising medicinal, cool-green, and slightly tarry contrast - evoking Nordic forests, fresh sap, and winter air. This tension between cozy warmth and crisp coolness defines the dry-down.
