The Swan Maiden by Ikiryo was launched in 2019 and is a composition crafted by Vincent of Dreamhouse. It opens with a bright floral-aromatic accord that feels like sunlight breaking through misty morning air, before transitioning into a heart of honeyed florals and ozonic freshness. The base notes of amber and woody earthiness create an intriguing contrast, grounding the fragrance while maintaining its ethereal quality.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms best on skin, so apply it generously to pulse points. The ozonic top notes are fleeting, lasting only about an hour, after which the honey and amber base takes center stage for a warm, lingering finish.
