HeartThe Soul
The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2019, A Whiff of Five by Swiss Arabian is an oriental floral that weaves together a blend of fresh and woody notes with powdery musk. The fragrance opens with the bright zest of bergamot and lemon, punctuated by aldehydes for a modern edge. This freshness gives way to a heart of ylang-ylang, jasmine, and rose, creating an elegant floral bouquet. The base is anchored by sandalwood and patchouli, enveloped in a warm, musky embrace that includes amber and vanilla, rounding out the composition with a touch of sophistication.
A Whiff of Five has a strong presence right from the start thanks to its bright top notes. Apply one generous spritz for a balanced effect — the aldehydes ensure it cuts through initially, but the base notes take over after about an hour, providing lasting warmth and depth.
