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.
Courtney Mason of PureWow saw it in 2024 as a solid release, with a classic, timeless charm, somewhere between floral and musk.
What critics say
For Courtney Mason (PureWow, November 5, 2024), Retrospect is a solid release, well worth its price. She finds it has a timeless, classic charm that still suits our times, and an elusive character: floral or musky, she leaves it to each person to decide.
