Claire.

Cold floral transparency.

A translucent composition structured around mineral citrus, pale florals, watery accords, and soft woods. Written in light rather than colour — closer to atmosphere than to declaration.

I — Formulation Architecture

The composition,
described as a structure.

A pyramid is not a metaphor — it is a record of volatility. Each material occupies a measured position within the formula, weighted by its evaporation rate and contribution to the whole.

III — Concentration & Balance

A measured study
of presence.

Read across glassware: the same composition expressed as concentration, diffusion, skin proximity, and the curve of its evaporation. Together they describe how Claire occupies a room.
