The story behind the bottle.
Dragonfly Edition 2021, crafted by Céline Barel and launched in 2021, is an aquatic and ozonic fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh, crisp day. The opening notes of grapefruit and angelica are bright and invigorating, while the heart blends floral and spicy elements like jasmine sambac, mimosa, and ginger. These are balanced by powdery and woody base notes such as orris root, vetiver, and patchouli, creating a scent that feels both uplifting and grounded.
Dragonfly Edition 2021 has a bright opening that fades after an hour or so. For best results, apply it in thin layers for a subtle yet lasting effect throughout the day. It's particularly well-suited for daytime wear, where its fresh and uplifting character shines.
