Chakra 2 Aveda, released in 2000, is positioned as a unisex fragrance, belonging to the floral and mineral families. Offered in fragrant mist concentration.
The sillage is very delicate — an intimate cloud that stays close to the skin. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. The home of this fragrance is the United States. Chakra 2 Aveda unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A weightless, fragrant veil with a light concentration delicately refreshes the skin and gives a feeling of cleanliness and comfort
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The note pyramid of Chakra 2 unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The creative approach of Aveda is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Fragrant mist emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Floral, Citrus, Wood and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Mineral. Within olfactory families the composition sits in Floral and Mineral.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a multi-layered petal mood: Geranium, Orange and Sandalwood.
The heart and base are perceived as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral and Wood with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read. For persistence High suggests confident staying power.
Overall Chakra 2 sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best understood through real development.
