‘A rich, nuanced scent that evolves throughout the day with notes of pear, ambrette, jasmine, and vanilla. It’s a modern fragrance — shaped by the past. Modern fragrances are designed to go viral — to sell quickly and fade just as fast. Complexity and craftsmanship have given way to a wardrobe of one-note scents made for short-lived trends. But fragrance was supposed to be different from the rest of beauty — it’s the one product that doesn’t change how you look, but it does change how you feel. And when was the last time your fragrance made you feel something? Retrospect is a return to fragrance the way it used to be made. It’s a rich, nuanced scent that isn’t confined to a singular moment or mood, so it’s not just a scent for right now but something you’ll keep coming back to.’ – Merit Beauty
