The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Penhaligon's and crafted by perfumer Aliénor Massenet, Solaris is an Oriental Floral fragrance that embodies the sunlit warmth of a bright day. The composition opens with a burst of citrus from lemon and black currant, followed by the floral notes of neroli, tiare flower, ylang-ylang, and jasmine. These delicate florals are anchored by woody base notes of sandalwood and cedarwood, adding depth and warmth to the scent.
Solaris has a bright opening that fades quickly into its floral heart. Apply it liberally to ensure the woody base notes have time to develop fully throughout the day.
