Retrospect is Merit’s first fragrance, an extrait launched on October 22, 2024 and composed in Paris by Fanny Bal. Inspired by the fragrances of the past, reread with a modern sensibility, it moves from bergamot, pear and aldehydes to a heart of jasmine, rose and iris, over a base of vanilla, musk and moss.
Fanny Bal opens Retrospect with bergamot, pear, ambrette and aldehydes. The heart brings together jasmine, rose, rosemary, violet and iris; the base lays down vanilla, musk and moss.
The brand describes a soft, clean opening, a subtle floral heart and a warm base, like a second skin, that evolves throughout the day.
