2016: the world took its first breath of Santorini Vine Korres. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the fruit and citrus families. Created as part of the Splashes collection. An eau de cologne — light-footed, but utterly unforgettable.
Brand country — Greece. 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 fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
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 note pyramid of Santorini Vine is built as an expressive line of development, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Korres comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de Cologne sets the right density and pace of development.
The accord architecture is driven by these accords: Citrus and Fruit forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
In a unified mixed pyramid the notes arrive together with a multi-layered berry mood: Green Apple, Lemon and Peach. Here 3 notes act as one coherent layer, building sweet sensation of summer nectar that feels seamless.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which gives the structure continuity.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Fruit and Citrus. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Citrus and Fruit.
In summary Santorini Vine reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
