The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2024, English Major by Sorce is a composition that perfectly captures the essence of scholarly nostalgia and subtle sophistication. Perfumer Caitlin Hayes has crafted a scent that oscillates between sweet and powdery notes, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of old library books and cozy study nooks. The fragrance opens with a delicate sweetness that subtly transitions into a woody base, grounded by earthy undertones, making it feel both familiar and comforting.
Apply two sprays to pulse points. The sweet top notes are fleeting, so it's best to layer them over the woody base that blooms gradually throughout the day. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, making it ideal for intimate settings or a cozy evening in.
