A year ago, pistachio lived in ice cream and baklava. Now it has settled on wrists, and the perfume ...
Afloat joined the Derek Lam portfolio in 2015. By character, a feminine fragrance drawing from the floral family. From the 10 Crosby collection; released as eau de parfum.
Brand country — the United States, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Afloat Derek Lam 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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
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 Afloat evolves as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves with precision and warmth. The signature of Derek Lam is evident from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the right density and pace of development.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a inspiring floral mood: Iris and Mimosa. Here 2 notes sound as one voice, building an elegant floral wave that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The inner phases are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Floral and Powdery with each one in a clear role. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Floral and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
Taken together Afloat sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best experienced in wear.
