About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Catalyst, launched in 1993, is a floral fruity composition that opens with a lush bouquet: hyacinth, bergamot, gardenia, and peach. The heart continues the white floral theme with orris root, carnation, tuberose, and additional bergamot, gardenia, and peach, creating a rich, layered core. The base of sandalwood, cedar, amber, musk, and vanilla provides a warm, woody foundation. The main accords—white floral, floral, woody, powdery, green, and iris—reflect its complex character. This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate bold, opulent florals with a powdery iris nuance and a green edge. It is ideal for those who enjoy vintage-style compositions that balance sweetness with woody depth. Perfect for evening wear or special occasions, Catalyst is a statement scent that embodies the early 1990s aesthetic.
