The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Vivir was launched in 2022 by perfumers Elise Juarros and Rosa Vaia as an exclusive edition created to celebrate the vital force that overcomes adversity. That intention gives the composition its emotional shape: citrus brightness for energy, flowers for nature and calm, and woods for human strength. The fragrance opens with bergamot and citrus, then develops through Turkish rose, ylang-ylang, heliotrope, and white tea before reaching myrrh, sandalwood, and amberwood. Together, the notes trace a shift from clean brightness to floral warmth, resinous depth, and dry wood. The citrus gradually recedes as the rose becomes more prominent, while white tea keeps the heart clear.
The unusual part is how its separate materials share one emotional brief. Bergamot and citrus bring forward motion, while ylang-ylang and Turkish rose lend a polished floral warmth. White tea and heliotrope introduce air and calm around that richer heart. At the base, myrrh, sandalwood, and amberwood turn brightness into something more substantial. That progression matters because the composition doesn’t ask comfort and vitality to compete. One supports the other, giving the spicy sweetness somewhere calm to land.
The evolution
Vivir begins with bergamot and citrus, a clean burst of brightness that puts the fragrance in motion. As that opening softens, Turkish rose and ylang-ylang take over with fuller floral warmth, polished by heliotrope’s powdery sweetness. White tea keeps the middle from becoming too dense, creating a transparent seam through the rose. Later, myrrh brings resinous depth, while sandalwood and amberwood settle the composition into dry warmth with a subtle sweet, woody edge. The citrus gradually recedes, but its lively character leaves a brighter impression within the developing composition. As the floral heart softens, ylang-ylang gives the rose a richer, rounder quality, while heliotrope adds a gentle powdery texture. White tea continues to lift the middle, preventing the flowers from becoming overly heavy.
Cultural impact
Vivir is an extrait de parfum built around a clear progression of citrus, floral, resinous, and woody notes. Bergamot and citrus create an energetic opening before Turkish rose and ylang-ylang bring fuller warmth. Heliotrope lends powdery sweetness, and white tea adds clarity through the middle. Myrrh then deepens the composition with resinous character, while sandalwood and amberwood create a dry, polished base. For discovery, the fragrance offers a way to examine how contrasting textures and aromas settle together over time, from bright citrus to soft floral notes and warm woods.
