Why you should choose Solaris
Solaris stands out with its distinctive blend of bright citrus and tropical florals anchored by a creamy, comforting base. The blackcurrant adds a subtle tart richness that differentiates it from purely citrus scents, while neroli and lemon keep the opening sunny and uplifting. The heart of jasmine, tiare, and ylang-ylang injects a luminous, almost sunlit bouquet that reads sophisticated rather than sweet. The cedarwood, sandalwood, and vanilla base grounds the fragrance, giving it a lasting, gentle warmth that evolves beautifully on skin. This combination creates a versatile scent profile that works for a wide range of skin chemistries and seasons, making Solaris a reliable go-to for anyone seeking a polished, modern sun-soaked fragrance.
Ideal for: Those who want a radiant, luminous scent that remains refined and versatile across day and night. Great for gifting to someone who appreciates a contemporary yet timeless fragrance with a distinctive citrus-floral character.
How to use Solaris
• Spritz Solaris on pulse points (wrists and neck) from a comfortable distance of 15–20 cm to ensure an even, radiant distribution.
• Allow the fragrance to settle for 1–2 minutes after application to let the top notes bloom without overpowering.
• Avoid rubbing the wrists together after spraying, as this can dull the fragrance's clarity and fade the sillage faster.
• Reapply lightly if needed later in the day, focusing on the pulse points to refresh the scent without creating heaviness.
