Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
The Olfactory No. 2 is a unisex fragrance in an oil-based perfume format, created for those who appreciate rich woody compositions with a distinctive character.
The fragrance is part of the Trinity collection by The Olfactory, a New Zealand perfume house that creates fragrances for women and unisex scents.
The available information does not specify the release date of The Olfactory No. 2.
However, the perfumer behind the composition is known: Aroha Silenzio, whose work is built around the contrast between fresh green and citrus nuances, gentle sweetness, and deep woody tones.
In terms of mood, this is a woody fragrance with green, citrus, floral, and sweet nuances.
Lemongrass and angelica bring a sense of freshness and a light spicy coolness to the composition, osmanthus softens the transition to the heart, while caramel rounds out the scent with a delicate gourmand accent.
The main impression of No. 2 is shaped by cedar, oud, vetiver, and a woody accord.
These notes make the fragrance feel composed, dense, and noticeable, while its very strong sillage makes it especially suitable for occasions when you want to make a statement without compromise.
The unisex positioning allows The Olfactory No. 2 to unfold differently on different wearers: on some skin, dry woody tones will stand out more strongly; on others, caramel softness, green freshness, or the floral facet of osmanthus may take the lead.
This is not a neutral, “for every occasion” composition, but an expressive choice for fans of rich, bold, and memorable fragrances.
The oil-based formula calls for careful application and is particularly well suited to experiencing the composition up close on the skin.
No precise dosage recommendation for application to skin or clothing is provided in the database, so it is best to adjust the intensity gradually, starting with a small amount and taking the very strong sillage into account.
If you would like to explore fragrances in a similar woody direction, you might consider Mugler Woodissime, Stephane Humbert Lucas 777 Qom Chilom, and Emper 9 to 9 Pour Homme.
At the same time, The Olfactory No. 2 stands out through its combination of angelica, lemongrass, caramel, and an oud-woody base, giving it a distinctive character that cannot be reduced to a single note.
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 rich oil-based perfume composition with a soft opening, high durability, and an intimate 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 top, middle and base notes of The Olfactory No.2 have not been specified separately, so it is more accurate to consider the composition as a single accord.
The key nuances include angelica and lemongrass, creating a green-citrusy opening with a cool, slightly spicy character.
Caramel lends the fragrance softness and a subtle sweetness, while osmanthus adds a floral nuance.
The composition is based on cedar, oud, vetiver and a woody accord, forming a deep, rich and long-lasting trail.
