Fragrance information:

Surprise Forster and Johnsen, launched in 2010, is positioned as a feminine fragrance, belonging to the sweet, fruit, and floral families. An eau de parfum — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.

It carries a noticeable sillage, leaving a trail that lingers pleasantly in the air. A delicate fragrance with very low longevity — but what a first impression it makes. The home of this fragrance is the United States. Surprise Forster and Johnsen unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.

Perfume information

Description of the composition

The olfactory structure of Surprise unfolds as a living composition, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The style of Forster and Johnsen is evident in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.

As soon as the fragrance opens you catch sparkling-drinkable first notes: Cognac, Rose and Rum.

In the middle phase you sense Freesia, Hibiscus, Jasmine and Peach carrying a velvety rose-iris direction.

The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Floral, Fruit, Musc and Spicy without random overlap. Background accords such as Alcoholic add depth to the backdrop. The gender direction is feminine, which clarifies the composition character. In longevity terms Very low points to a sustained drydown presence.

At the note-group layer the composition is built around Drinks, Floral, Whiteflower and Fruit. It also reaches into Wood, Gourmet, Musk and Sweet.

Taken together Surprise sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood in wear.
