Makiling Parfums Astraux — fragrance character
Makiling is a unisex fragrance by Parfums Astraux, a perfume house from the Philippines.
This eau de parfum was released in 2023 and created for those who appreciate natural, green and floral compositions with a pronounced presence.
The name Makiling evokes the image of vibrant tropical nature, although the available information does not include a detailed official story behind the release.
Its character is therefore best revealed through the stated note palette: bamboo, white tea, floral accords, frangipani, freesia, moss and rose.
Pyramid and scent profile
The note pyramid of Makiling is not divided into separate top, middle and base notes, so the composition is best understood as a unified olfactory accord.
Green bamboo and white tea create a sense of purity and freshness, while floral nuances lend the fragrance softness and a bright, airy mood.
As the fragrance develops, frangipani, freesia and rose become noticeable. They make the composition more expressive while preserving its natural character.
Moss adds a cool, damp, earthy nuance and helps the flowers sound more focused, without excessive sweetness.
As a result, Makiling comes across as a green floral fragrance with a woody-mossy undertone.
Wearability and sillage
Makiling is positioned as a unisex perfume, so it can be chosen by both women and men.
Green and floral accords make the fragrance versatile in mood: it can complement an everyday look, business attire or a relaxed outfit for leisure.
The eau de parfum is described as having very strong sillage.
This is an important feature of the release: the fragrance should be applied sparingly, especially indoors, so that its intense profile remains comfortable for both the wearer and those around them.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the database.
A practical way to get acquainted with it is to start with one spray on the skin and assess the intensity after some time. On fabric, the fragrance may last longer and smell more pronounced, so minimal dosage is best for clothing.
Its place in the brand's style
Makiling reflects Parfums Astraux's interest in the natural side of perfumery.
The composition combines the transparency of white tea, the green motif of bamboo, the floral character of frangipani, freesia and rose, while moss lends depth to the overall image.
This makes the fragrance seem not merely floral, but also layered and cohesive.
No information is available about the perfumer, the collection or other concentrations of Makiling.
No alternative versions of the same fragrance have been announced either, so when choosing it, focus on the characteristics of the eau de parfum presented here and its very strong sillage.
