“The kind of fresh that wakes a room up. Your new daily.”
The story
Oliver by Strangers Parfumerie is a complex, unisex summer fragrance that opens with a vibrant burst of citrus, sea salt, and herbal green notes—think mojito meets Mediterranean breeze. The fragrance evolves into a layered, aromatic composition where citrus mingles with dry herbal elements like clary sage and coriander, softened by hints of magnolia, bitter orange, and oakmoss. Over time, it settles into a dry, slightly powdery, and clean-soap-like dry down with subtle warmth from tobacco, leather, and sandalwood, evoking a sense of nostalgic summer evenings and serene coastal scenes. While the initial olfactory impression is fresh and lively, the longevity is inconsistent—most experience moderate hold, with many noting it fades within a few hours. Its sillage is moderate and not overpowering, making it best suited for daytime wear during spring and summer. The fragrance succeeds in creating an immersive, multi-sensory experience, recalling the atmosphere of Call Me By Your Name, with a delicate balance of sweetness and bitterness.

What We Love
- A beautifully blended, complex composition that feels both modern and evocative of classic chypre and fougeres.
- Excellent daytime suitability for warm weather seasons, especially spring and summer.
- Unique, refreshing character that stands apart from mass-market summer scents.
Worth Knowing
- Generally short longevity, often fading within 4–6 hours.
- Sillage is moderate and not noticeable at a distance.
- Smells more like a premium fresh deodorant or clean laundry than a deeply captivating perfume for some.

Lost In Heaven is a deeply complex, unisex fragrance that unfolds like a narrative, blending animalic depth with sweet, powdery floral elegance. It opens with a bold, waxy beeswax and spicy cumin core, layered with citruses, ambergris, and musky animalics—creating an intense, almost confrontational presence that some find overwhelming. Over time, the scent softens into a honeyed, floral chypre with prominent orris, heliotrope, and orange blossom, offering a warm, powdery silkiness beneath the complexity.
