The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2023 by Andrea Maack, Solstice is a unisex fragrance created by perfumer Julien Rasquinet. This composition opens with the freshness of sea notes and watermelon, immediately evoking a bracing sense of aquatic clarity. The heart of lily-of-the-valley and jasmine softens this crispness with delicate floral tones, while violet adds an unexpected touch of depth. The base notes of sinfonide and amber bring warmth and comfort, grounding the scent in a soothing embrace.

How to wear it

One or two sprays are sufficient to capture the essence of Solstice. The aquatic top notes fade within an hour but leave behind a warm and comforting base that lingers throughout the day. Best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, invigorating scent.
