Launched in 2022 by Fragrance Du Bois and crafted by perfumer Shadi Samra, Solstis is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of a vibrant yet grounded moment. The composition opens with bright citrus and aromatic notes like bergamot and pink pepper, creating an energetic freshness. As it evolves, warm spices such as cardamom and nutmeg emerge, adding depth and complexity to the scent. A woody base of sandalwood and vetiver grounds the fragrance, while vanilla provides a touch of sweetness.

Application Tips
Solstis is best applied in layers — start with a light spritz to capture its bright opening notes, then reapply after an hour for the warm spiciness and woody base to fully integrate. This fragrance projects well without being overpowering, making it ideal for daytime wear.
