Calyx by Prescriptives: launched in 1986. It was created by perfumer Sophia Grojsman and Estee Lauder's perfumer, Karyn Khoury.. The fragrance, named after the green part of the flower and consisting of sepals, is refreshing and exhilarating, just like a new blossom.
Perfumer Sophia Grojsman recalled that her inspiration for Calyx came after she had just returned from a trip to Israel, where she had stayed in a bungalow overlooking orange and grapefruit trees. The fresh aromatic citrus scents produced from those trees helped to define Calyx.
Fragrance Composition:
So what does it smell like? It is classified as a fruity floral fragrance for women.
A dramatically different fragrance blending lush, tropical fruity notes of mango, passion fruit, papaya and guava with sense awakening citrus notes of mandarin and grapefruit. The body of the fragrance is composed of fresh, feminine floralcy - delicate blossoms of freesia, lily of the valley, rose, jasmine, lily, marigold are surrounded by the tropical top note. A background of mosses and woods preserves the tropical feeling while adding depth and sensuality.
