by Alkemia Perfumes
Calliope Alkemia is a light, sweet, and playful gourmand fragrance with a sugary cotton candy heart accented by soft citrus and white florals. The vanilla adds creaminess without heaviness, while the musk provides a clean, slightly soapy base that keeps it from becoming cloying. It feels youthful and whimsical, with a soft sillage that lingers gently throughout the day. The scent is most suitable for spring and summer, and though its longevity is moderate, it tends to unfold smoothly without harsh notes. Some wearers note a distinct musk presence that can feel stark or unpleasant, especially on sensitive skin, while others appreciate its clean, adult grounding. The fragrance is primarily seen as girly and fun, but still wearable in professional or casual settings due to its restrained sweetness and floral elegance.
