The Need to Fly, from Mystikum was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is Alexandre Illan. It has the top notes of Gin, Ginger, Pomelo, and Tonic Water, middle notes of Absinthe, Cannabis, and Marjoram, and base notes of Leather, Patchouli, and Vetiver.
The Need To Fly starts of as a crisp tonic bases summer cocktail, with fresh spices. After one hour it reminds me a bit more of absinth, with a crispy fennel/anise combined with some fresh woodiness. At the end, an hour or 4-5 into the fragrance’s life you get a soft skin like woody freshness with a very soft like leathery note. It is a very lovely daily scent that gives the wearer a nice evolution in fragrance. It’s a lovely crisp fresh fragrance that comes to it own on a lovely warm day.
