Parfum II Extrait

The extrait concentration means two sprays last me through a full workday, and the way it settles on skin feels refined without being overpowering. It’s a lovely step into perfumery from a house that clearly knows luxury textiles.

The silk-house heritage really shows in how refined this extrait feels—it sits close to the skin but unfolds slowly over hours. I've worn it to work and gotten two quiet compliments from colleagues, which never happens with my other fragrances.

This extrait lasts impressively long on my skin, I can still smell it on my scarf two days later. The progression from the first spray to the dry-down is smooth and refined, feels like proper craftsmanship.
