Notes of bergamot and luminous florals float above a solid composition of white woods and earthy musks. Castling is a fragrance defined by its rare ability to eclipse expectations. Surging past perceived barriers, Castling gains the advantage by turning defense into offense and quickly switching the intent of the player. Protecting the target while simultaneously destroying the aggressor assures victory in the humbling manner of a commander. Castling advances its cause effortlessly in a fragrance that is bright, elegant, and refined. Notes of bergamot and luminous florals float above a solid composition of white woods, and earthy musks. The vitality of the florals illustrate it’s quickness and vigor, the ability to react in an instant in the face of an oncoming threat. Profound and primal undertones assure the competitor that their moves are supported, developing into deeply sensual notes that linger long after the competitor has won the game. "Castling is an ode to my beginnings, transporting you to the South of France. An aura of clean, powerful luminosity lingers in the air and slowly unfolds into the universality of fig. I divulged on the sheer strength of white woods and the milky creaminess of fig to build this composition. And a touch of orris, with its refined purity, adds just the right amount of innocence." - Christelle Laprade, Perfumer. Top: Fig Leaves, Bergamot Capua, Fleur Del Sel Middle: Iris, Freesia, Lotus Flower Drydown: Vanilla Woods, Skin Musk, Vetiver Madagascar, Sandalwood East India
