My Version Retro 101 Dzintars, unveiled in 2014, is marketed as a masculine fragrance, drawing from the fern and wood families. My Version Retro 101 is part of the My Version collection. In eau de toilette — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Latvia is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
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 My Version Retro 101 is built as a layered story, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Dzintars is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Spicy and Wood. The framework further includes Musk. From a family perspective the composition sits in Fern and Wood.
At the opening of the pyramid you catch radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Lavender, Lemon and Nutmeg.
In the middle phase you notice Cedar, Clove and Patchouli carrying a spicy-woody direction.
The olfactory framework is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Musc with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Wood and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is masculine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary My Version Retro 101 sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
