Fragrance notes and profile
Fragrance family: Amber Floral. Opening impression: a bright, bouquet-driven intro built around Carnation, Plum, Clary Sage, Orange Blossom, Bergamot, Rose, Jasmine, and Lemon. The citrus sparkle from bergamot and lemon brightens the blend while carnation and rose lend a spicy, powdery edge that softens into the heart.
Heart (middle) notes: Orris Root, Tonka Bean, Mimosa, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, Hyacinth, Orchid, Osmanthus. This creates a lush, velvety floral core with iris-like elegance from orris, warm sweetness from tonka, and the rich intensity of tuberose and ylang-ylang. Hyacinth adds a crisp, fresh lift; orchid and osmanthus contribute depth and honeyed nuance.
Base notes: Spices, Cinnamon, Incense, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Musk, Cypress, Vetiver. The base anchors the fragrance with a warm, resinous spine—spices and cinnamon introduce subtle heat, incense provides smoky resonance, vanilla and sandalwood add creamy sweetness and woodiness, while musk, cypress, and vetiver deliver lasting depth and an earthy, refined finish.
Longevity and wear: Designed for extended wear with a noticeable yet elegant projection, making it suitable for evening events and cooler days, while still versatile for daytime sophistication in many settings. Skin chemistry will influence the exact duration, but Raffinee typically lingers and evolves over hours.
How to use Prism Raffinee
- Spray on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) after a shower or on clean, moisturized skin for better hold.
- Hold the bottle 15–20 cm away to deliver a light, even mist rather than a concentrated spray.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application to preserve the fragrance’s clarity and sillage.
- For longer wear, layer with a matching body lotion or cream from Raffinee if available to boost longevity.
- Reapply as needed throughout the day or for evening events, depending on personal preference and environmental conditions.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to protect the perfume’s aroma integrity.
