Sortilege

A vintage-inspired floral aldehyde with a complex, creamy, and slightly animalic core. The opening displays sharp, soapy aldehydes with a distinct indolic warmth that some find intense, though it softens into a smooth, powdery bouquet of white and yellow florals—lilac, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and mimosa—settling into a honeyed, sandalwood-amber base with subtle musk and vetiver. The scent evolves with a gentle, radiant warmth, blending classic elegance with a sensual, slightly retro intimacy. While the modern rendition shares the DNA of the original, its projection is moderate and balanced, offering a soft, elegant sillage that lingers subtly throughout the day. It feels timeless, like wearing a memory of old-world femininity—graceful, radiant, and deeply layered—even if the original version remains a gold standard in the collective imagination of vintage perfume lovers.
