The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Levitation White Gold was launched in 2014 by Cuarzo The Circle. Ramón Béjar created the composition, which moves from the bright tension of clove and bergamot toward jasmine and French orange flower before settling into musk, cedar, and leather. Its effect comes from the contrast itself: a lively, spicy opening gradually becomes soft, floral, powdery, and woody. As the fragrance develops, the citrus lift recedes and the floral notes gain greater weight, while the base gives the composition a close, tactile character. The result feels restrained and layered, with enough warmth in the spice to keep the opening distinct and enough softness in the drydown to make the scent easy to return to.
The combination is interesting because its heat never becomes loud. Clove brings a dry, pointed spice, while bergamot adds a clean citrus lift. Jasmine and French orange flower soften that edge without making the composition sweet, their floral character appearing gradually rather than taking over at once. Then the base changes the temperature again: musk gives the scent a powdery closeness, cedar adds structure, and leather introduces a darker, tactile finish.
The evolution
At first, the fragrance is all lift and friction. Clove punctures bergamot’s brightness, creating a warm, slightly peppery impression before the citrus takes over. As that opening recedes, jasmine and French orange flower arrive as a soft floral center. The composition then changes direction again. Musk lays down a powdery, skin-close veil, cedar gives it a woody grain, and leather adds a restrained smoky-dark edge. The surprising part is how much remains intimate throughout. Over time, the bright spice loses some of its force, allowing the floral notes to appear clearer and more continuous. By the later stages, the fragrance has become a quiet floral-woody trace, with leather and musk keeping the final drydown close, dry, and softly rounded.
Cultural impact
Levitation White Gold is described as a unisex fragrance by its listing. Its composition moves between bright citrus, dry spice, soft floral notes, powdery musk, woody cedar, and darker leather. The scent’s appeal rests in this changing sequence: an energetic opening, a smoother floral middle, and a close drydown that leaves a restrained floral-woody impression. Exploring it means noticing how each note changes the temperature of the others and how the composition becomes more intimate as its brighter elements recede.
The House
Cuarzo The CircleCuarzo The Circle is a Spanish niche fragrance house founded by perfumer Ramón Béjar. The name derives from the Spanish word for quartz, reflecting the brand's mineralogical aesthetic. Béjar draws on a family legacy in both perfumery and jewelry, creating scents that translate precious stones and metals into olfactory form. The collection features gem-themed compositions including Ruby, Emerald, and Sapphire, alongside releases like Black Diamond and Gold Seed from 2014. The house operates from Spain, combining natural essences with a jewelry-maker's precision to position each fragrance as a wearable, aromatic object.
The Creator
Ramón BéjarOriental materials anchor Béjar's aesthetic, a direct result of his formative training. He gravitates toward raw materials with depth and history—oudhs, resins, rare florals—handling them with restraint that allows their complexity to unfold gradually on the skin.
