by Régime des Fleurs
Cacti by Régime des Fleurs is a quietly captivating, ultra-refined aquatic-green fragrance that evokes the delicate balance between dry desert heat and cool, dewy vegetation. It opens with a fresh, slightly peppery note—reminiscent of shiso and mate—laced with watery aloe vera and bergamot, creating a crisp, clean sensation. The heart softens into a harmonious blend of green tea, tender jasmine, and heliotrope, giving it a light, powdery sweetness without ever becoming cloying. The dry down is dry and herbal, with subtle aloe and tea notes that linger gently, like a whisper of moisture on sun-warmed stone. The scent is remarkably quiet and intimate—perfectly suited for daytime wear in warm weather, especially in summer or early autumn. Despite its restrained sillage, it lasts impressively well and leaves a subtle, pleasant trail not easily detected by others. It feels more like a personal secret than a statement, ideal for those who appreciate delicate, nature-inspired scents that feel sophisticated rather than bold.
