Astrid Perfume Busted — Character and Story of the Fragrance
Astrid Perfume Busted is a women's fragrance from the American brand Astrid Perfume, released in 2018.
This is an oil-based perfume with a very strong sillage: its expressive formula unfolds close to the skin while remaining clearly noticeable in the surrounding space.
Astrid Perfume creates women's and unisex compositions in an oil perfume concentration.
Its fragrance palette develops across the Sea Witch, The Nine Muses, Sweet Notes, A Study of Lilac and Tea Party I collections, although no separate collection is listed for Busted in the available data.
Olfactive Profile
In character, Busted combines fougère and spicy facets.
The composition features balsamic, woody, green, floral and sweet nuances, making the fragrance feel layered and contrasting.
The freshness of rhubarb and the sparkling effect of champagne are set against spicy clove, resinous frankincense and coniferous fir.
A honeyed accent and the soft floral tone of linden blossom give the formula a rounded quality, while the woody-balsamic base makes it richer and more memorable.
How Busted Unfolds
At the opening, the composition may sound bright and unusual thanks to the combination of champagne and rhubarb.
Clove, linden blossom and honeyed sweetness then come to the forefront, creating a spicy-floral heart with a subtle green coolness.
In the drydown, the fragrance becomes deeper: frankincense and fir form a dense resinous-woody accord that supports its very strong sillage.
Busted is a good choice for those who enjoy noticeable oil perfumes with an unconventional balance of sparkling, spicy, sweet and coniferous nuances.
The Perfumer and Wearability
The composition was created by Astrid Favreau-Hild Weinstock.
Her idea is especially vivid in the unusual combination of champagne, rhubarb, frankincense and fir: the fragrance does not strive for universal transparency, instead retaining its individuality and dense presence.
Busted can be considered a fragrance for cool weather, evening outings and occasions when you want to emphasize your look with an expressive sillage.
Specific recommendations for the number of applications on skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to begin exploring this oil-based formula with a small amount.
