The quiet sophistication of an afternoon in a private library, where the scent of fresh pages mingles with the warmth of polished wood and subtle floral notes.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2018 by Clive Christian, A Separate Reality Soporific is a Chypre Floral fragrance that embodies the brand's commitment to luxury and tradition. Perfumer Celia Cirimbilli crafts an aromatic composition with a fresh spicy opening that transitions into floral and herbal notes, creating a warm and balsamic finish. The scent encapsulates a delicate balance between crisp freshness and rich depth, offering a serene yet complex olfactory experience.

How to wear it

This fragrance blooms best close to the skin, so apply it directly on pulse points. The fresh spicy top notes dissipate quickly, but the warm balsamic base will linger for hours. It's ideal for a quiet evening at home or a refined office setting.
