“The fragrance that makes people ask 'are you wearing something?' — you're not sure.”
The take
What works
- ●Pure Iso E Super molecule — skin-reactive and biologically unique to each wearer
- ●Invisible on yourself but others find it magnetic and inexplicably attractive
- ●Concept fragrance that actually delivers on its premise
Trade-offs
- ●Near-zero projection — you will not smell this on yourself
- ●Half the population may smell nothing at all (anosmic to Iso E Super)
