Perseus

The interplay between sunlight and shadow on a city street — where sharp, fresh notes meet the subtle warmth of musk and tobacco.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2024 by Ikiryo, Perseus is a composition that balances contrasting elements with remarkable poise. The fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic accord, giving way to the warmth of musk and tobacco. A powdery, sweet heart adds depth, while white florals and fresh spices create an intriguing tension. This unisex EDP, crafted by Vincent of Dreamhouse, is a study in contrasts, where crisp freshness meets the smoky charm of tobacco.

How to wear it

Apply one generous spray to the pulse points. The citrus opening is bright but fades within an hour, while the tobacco and musky base notes develop slowly over time. This fragrance reads better close to skin than from across a room.
