Merit beauty is a beauty brand founded in 2021 whose makeup products social media won’t stop talking about, surprisingly the brand has recently launched a new fragrance after 3 years in the makeup industry. It’s one of the fastest growing brand we’re all starting to get to know.
Anyway, Merit Retrospect Extrait de Parfum is a vintage inspired fragrance with a blend of floral, vanilla, moss and musk base notes with rose as the heart of the fragrance. The fragrance has a nostalgic nod to vintage via the floral notes of rosemary, orris, and jasmine. Merit Retrospect Extract De Parfum has top notes of aldehydes, bergamot, ambrette and pear.
The first impression of the fragrance will make you think; “if it’s not an eau de perform or eau de toilette but extrait de parfum, what is that?”, so we went searching what extrait the parfum is – it’s the purest form of fragrance that contains 20-40% fragrance concentration making it potent and long-lasting than an eau de parfum, no wonder merit beauty described the fragrance to have a long-lasting wear time of at least 12hours.
“We have always focused on slow intentionality and making products where we believe there’s white space,, and we believe very clearly that even with the increased momentum of fragrance launches this year, they’ve almost just made our point stronger on where the white space is on having something clean and nuanced and grown-up and long-lasting and high quality. That still doesn’t really exist in the market, and absolutely not at a $92 price point.”
Merit’s Retrospect Extrait de Parfum retails for $92 and launches on Oct. 22 at the brand’s website and at Sephora just in time to gift loved ones and treat oneself this Christmas season.
