The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Profiles #1: Medusa by Ikiryo was launched in 2017, crafted by Vincent of Dreamhouse. This fragrance is an intriguing blend of spicy and woody accords that create a warm, enveloping atmosphere. The composition opens with a burst of balsamic and powdery notes, giving way to a heart filled with floral and rose nuances. The base settles into a rich amber and musky warmth that lingers long after the initial spray. This fragrance is neither traditionally feminine nor masculine, embodying an unisex elegance.

How to wear it

Apply Profiles #1: Medusa with two sprays to ensure the spicy and woody notes are balanced. The balsamic and powdery top notes fade quickly, but the floral and amber base notes develop over time, making this fragrance ideal for evening wear.
