Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Flying is built as a layered story, where layers reveal themselves smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Maison Martin Margiela is clear in the way notes appear and fade. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.

At olfactory-group level the profile is anchored in Citrus, Whiteflower, Floral and Earthy / Mossy. The framework further includes Mineral, Musk and Aromatic.

From the first breath you catch invigorating sunny first notes: Bergamot, Orange blossom and Petitgrain.

At the core of development you detect Almond Blossom, Neroli and ylang-ylang holding a harmonious floral direction.

The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Abstract, Citrus, Floral and Musc with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character. In wear duration Middle points to a sustained drydown presence.

In summary Flying reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Low (1 to 2 hours)
2
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Imperceptible

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

citrus notes with aldehydes and neroli are clearly present here. a feeling of freshness, like walking on grass after rain on a summer day, next to citrus trees. there's a little bitterness, like from a peel or even a leaf if you rub it. a soapy nuance is also noticeable. I think this is a summer fragrance. I wouldn't buy it for myself, it reminds me more of a men's chypre cologne. but it's still interesting to try

The scent of wormwood is noticeable, even though it's not in the composition. You can't call it fresh, and the words "airy" or "flying" don't suit it. Light - maybe. You won't find citrus notes in the usual sense here. Although positioned as unisex, it looks strange on women. My husband, by the way, liked it. Overall, the fragrance is simple - nothing outstanding 😒

I expected more, I thought the fragrance would be more captivating. It's met with sharp citruses with an aldehydic note, too much freshness, ozonic accents, a soapy aftertaste, and a slight bitterness are present, but it lacks richness, everything sounds somewhat dull 😔
