Editorial notes

  1. 01

    A skin-musk with ambrette and iris, designed as a deliberately minimal composition that reads as the wearer's own skin amplified rather than a separate scent identity.

  2. 02

    An influential mainstream example of the skin-scent minimalism that defined late-2010s fragrance launches by direct-to-consumer beauty brands.

  3. 03

    Glossier's first fragrance. Reportedly sold out within days of release and spent its first year as a wait-list product after a 2017 launch.

  4. 04

    Composed by Dora Baghriche and Frank Voelkl in 2017 around pink pepper over an iris-ambrette heart with an Ambrox-musk base.

The brief

Baghriche and Voelkl built a deliberately minimal 'skin scent' composition around ambrette and Ambrox, designed to read as the wearer's own skin amplified.

The Curator's Note

A skin scent so well-marketed it became a personality trait.
