The Signature of The Need to Fly
A gin and tonic accord and bitter pomelo open fizzy and cool. Marjoram and cannabis leaf bring a herbal, green heart. Leather and patchouli create a bold, earthy drydown.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
The Need to Fly starts like an ice-cold gin and tonic on a summer terrace, complete with the bitter peel. Then it turns greener and more herbal, and the cannabis leaf adds a slightly smoky, almost hay-like tone. We find the leather in the base very successful, as it gives the freshness a sturdy backbone. It smells young and headstrong, but never cheap. We love wearing it on long summer days, from lunch until well after sunset.
