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 composition of La Base evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of Magic Helvetia is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Floral, Fruit, Wood and Powdery forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Without strict stage separation the opening appears as one connected movement with a multi-layered petal mood: Bellflower, Calendula, Exotic Woods, Freesia, Iris, Jasmine and Mimosa. In this case 7 notes work as one coherent layer, creating an elegant floral wave that feels seamless.
The inner phases are perceived as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Floral, Wood, Whiteflower and Fruit. The palette also extends to Green.
Taken together La Base reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
