A Fragrance Born of Sunshine

In 1987, the perfume world was shaken by a brilliant flash—the arrival of Prescriptives Calyx. Created by legendary perfumer Sophia Grojsman, this women's fragrance instantly became iconic.

Calyx is an ode to lush, ripe greenery and tropical fruits, captured in a bottle. Belonging to the floral and fruity fragrance families, it remains a benchmark of freshness to this day.

An Instant Escape into Summer

From the very first seconds, Calyx dazzles with a cocktail of mango, passion fruit, guava, and papaya, enhanced by the citrus freshness of bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin.

Mint adds a piquant touch, while blackcurrant leaf brings a tangy edge. This is not just a fruit bomb—it is an explosion of life, energy, and carefree joy.

At the heart of the fragrance, a delicate bouquet blooms: jasmine, rose, lily of the valley, neroli, and cyclamen intertwine with iris and juicy melon.

The floral-fruity accord becomes softer and more enveloping, yet loses none of its brightness. A base of oakmoss, vetiver, and musk lends the composition a refined depth and lasting power.

An exceptionally strong trail—Calyx is a fragrance that lingers in the memory.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Calyx is perfect for bright, active, self-assured women who are not afraid to be the center of attention.

It is an ideal choice for daytime wear in spring and summer, though its cheerful character can lift your spirits even on a gloomy day.

The fragrance unfolds especially vividly in warm weather, under the sun's rays—like a tropical cocktail on the beach.

If you are looking for compositions with a similar mood, consider L`Occitane en Provence Neroli & Orchidee, Rampage Rampage, and Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
