About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Flying by Maison Margiela, launched in 2016, is a unisex Citrus Aromatic built around a luminous orange blossom opening. The top note is orange blossom, which quickly gives way to a heart of neroli essence, bergamot, and petitgrain. This trio forms a bright, green-tinged citrus core that feels both sparkling and slightly bitter, true to the natural rawness of these materials. The base rests on ozonic notes, musk, and moss, lending a clean, airy dryness that keeps the composition from turning sweet or heavy.

Collectors who appreciate transparent, skin-close citrus scents will find this appealing. It suits those who want a fresh, unisex fragrance for daytime wear, especially in warm weather. The ozonic and mossy undertones add a subtle earthy coolness, making it more than a simple citrus splash. If you enjoy neroli-forward compositions with a soft, musky finish, Flying is worth seeking out. Its discontinued status makes it a quiet gem for those who favor understated elegance over projection.

中文簡介

Flying 係 Maison Margiela 2016 年推出嘅中性柑橘芳香調香水。前調係橙花,跟住係橙花精油、佛手柑同苦橙葉組成嘅心調,散發明亮帶綠意嘅柑橘氣息,微苦而清新。基調用臭氧、麝香同苔蘚,營造乾淨輕盈嘅乾爽感,唔會過甜或厚重。

呢支香適合鍾意通透、貼膚柑橘調嘅收藏家,男女都用得。日間、和暖天氣最啱,低調得嚟有層次。臭氧同苔蘚嘅底蘊帶少少大地清涼感,令佢唔止係普通柑橘水。如果你鍾意橙花主導、收尾柔軟麝香嘅香水,Flying 值得留意。停產之後,更加係鍾意低調優雅嘅人嘅隱藏選擇。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
