Perfume information

Description of the composition

The fragrance pyramid of 8 88 begins with an energetic start, where coriander, papyrus and turmeric create a spicy-green chord, refreshing and intriguing, setting a dynamic beginning.

In the heart of the composition, frankincense, geranium and saffron intertwine, adding resinous depth and floral tenderness, creating a rich and harmonious middle stage.

The final base is composed of amber and patchouli, which impart a persistent, warm, and slightly earthy note, finishing the journey with a cozy aftertaste, leaving an unforgettable trace.

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
Medium (2 to 5 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

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.
