The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by perfumer Guillaume Flavigny, Metal Flower by The Harmonist is a chypre floral that balances the crispness of aldehydic notes with the warmth and depth of patchouli. The opening aldehyde and rose oxide create an intriguing tension, cutting through the sweetness of orange blossom and Bulgarian rose to give the composition a modern edge. This interplay between fresh, metallic notes and rich florals makes Metal Flower feel both classic and contemporary.
Metal Flower's aldehydic notes are bright but fleeting, so layering it over a light moisturizer can help anchor the composition to your skin. The patchouli base takes about an hour to fully bloom, so apply just before you need it to be at its fullest.
