Unsettled
by FZOTIC
Unsettled unfolds as a layered, subtle yet evocative fragrance with a distinctly tropical coastal air. It opens with a fresh, herbal-green presence driven by bergamot, clary sage, and black tea, creating a crisp, almost medicinal lift that avoids dryness through the addition of soft citrus and herbal notes. The heart deepens with a waxy, creamy sandalwood and a delicate, gourmand pineapple that feels artificial yet harmonious, balanced by a soft vanilla and labdanum warmth. The drydown reveals a subtle marine freshness—an ozonic, slightly salty airiness—adding depth without dominating. It evolves slowly, whispering rather than shouting, with long-lasting performance that lingers well into the second half of the day. It's a fragrance built on nuance: not overtly sweet or bold, but intricately structured, offering a thoughtful, refined character that suits contemplative settings and warm weather with moderate sillage.
Pros
- +Exceptional longevity and consistent presence across the day, especially in moderate climates
- +Richly layered and evolving scent with a sophisticated interplay of green tea, tropical pineapple, and creamy sandalwood
- +Subtle yet intriguing marine-ozonic drydown that adds a compelling sense of place and airiness
Cons
- −Projection and sillage are moderate to low, making it more intimate and personal than bold
- −Performance varies significantly across individuals, with some experiencing short longevity (under 2 hours)
- −The aquatic and pineapple notes can feel overly synthetic or reminiscent of other lighter fragrances, potentially seeming generic to some
