Agápē αγάπη

Meaning: Unconditional love.

It's a phrase I kept hearing around constantly ever since I started my freshman year at Chulalongkorn University.

As for the scent profile, the concept actually goes way back—almost to when I first started perfumery (back when I was trying to clone fragrances in this genre). It pairs an iris note with a "molecular" amber structure (clean synthetics with just a touch of amber and a dash of oakmoss). It serves as a top-note presentation built over a base that doesn't project heavily, yet boasts incredible longevity on skin.

This is likely the most deceptively simple fragrance I've ever made, but crafting it was anything but simple—especially keeping the iris from drowning out the base notes.
