The year 2023 gave us Second Skin Care. A unisex fragrance from the wood, fruit, and floral families. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Country of origin — Germany. Second Skin Care unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
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 olfactory structure of Second Skin is built as a continuous scent journey, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Care comes through from the opening to the final trail. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Fruit, Floral and Gourmet. The framework further includes Wood and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Floral, Fruit and Wood.
From the first breath you meet sweet-fresh fruity opening notes: Lemon, Pear and Raspberry.
In the central layer you detect Iris, Peach Blossom and Peony holding a opulent floral direction.
The accord architecture is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Wood without random overlap. Secondary accord layers such as Powdery and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Second Skin sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best understood on skin.
