Merit Retrospect L'Extrait de Parfum
MERIT's Retrospect is a refined, genderless L'Extrait de Parfum — the highest concentration of fragrance composition available on the market — created to develop beautifully on the skin throughout the day. Available in travel (9.5 ml), standard (30 ml), and economical (60 ml) sizes.
The Scent Journey
Retrospect is built on a classic three-layered fragrance pyramid that unfolds in stages:
• Top Notes: Bergamot, Ambrette, pear, aldehydes — a soft, clean, and luminous opening, fresh and modern
• Heart Notes: jasmine, rose, iris, rosemary, violet — a delicate, subtle floral center with powdery depth and botanical elegance
• Base Notes: vanilla, musk, moss — a warm, soothing finish that blends into the skin, intimate and long-lasting
Key Fragrance Notes
• Bergamot — a crisp citrus accent in the opening
• Ambrette — a soft, musky seed note with natural warmth
• Jasmine Oil/Extract — a rich, true-to-life floral note in the heart
• Rose Ketones — elegant, dewy rose aspects
• Vanilla and Musk — a warm, enveloping base that anchors the fragrance
Why L'Extrait de Parfum?
L'Extrait de Parfum (also known as Extrait or Pure Perfume) contains the highest concentration of fragrance oil compared to Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette. This means:
• Longer lasting throughout the day
• A richer, more nuanced evolution of the scent on the skin
• Less quantity needed per application
Product Details
Retrospect offers a rich, multi-layered sensory experience — it begins with soft, clean top notes, blossoms into a subtle floral heart, and finally settles into a deeply warm base of musk, vanilla, and moss. The result is a modern, understated fragrance with a warm second-skin finish — effortlessly wearable for any gender and any occasion.
