The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Callisto by Jul et Mad Paris, launched in 2024 and crafted by Luca Maffei, is an Oriental Vanilla fragrance that balances aldehydic freshness with warm, powdery notes. The scent opens with a bright interplay of aldehydes and pink pepper, creating a vibrant contrast to the rich tonka bean and vanilla base. Iris adds depth and complexity, while benzoin and musk lend a cozy, enveloping finish. This composition is both modern and lasting, capturing the essence of a contemporary yet classic fragrance.

How to wear it

Apply Callisto to pulse points for the best effect. The aldehydic top notes are bright but fleeting, so allow it a few minutes to settle into your skin before stepping out. This fragrance is best enjoyed up close rather than from afar, making it perfect for intimate settings.
