The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
You See Me Too arrived in 2025, composed by Alina Miron for Dor Olfactory. Its inspiration is a visit to Mariposa Grove in Yosemite, where the forest feels watchful rather than remote, and that sense of attention lingers long after leaving the trail. The fragrance opens on a bright, zesty impression before settling into a layered woodland palette of resin, earth, and sweetness. Benzoin and Frankincense lend a warm, incense-like depth, while Oakmoss and Provençal Honey round out the heart with damp greenery and a soft sweetness that feels woven through the trees rather than placed on top. Cedarwood, Pine, Sandalwood, and Vanilla then anchor the composition, giving it a dry, woody base that carries a gentle warmth against the skin.
The composition works because sweetness never stays polite for long. Sweet Orange offers bright, edible sharpness, but Balsam Fir quickly places it beneath a cool, aromatic canopy. At the center, Provençal Honey pulls the composition toward something richer, while Benzoin and Frankincense introduce resinous depth and Oakmoss adds an earthy, forest-floor texture. Pine, Cedarwood, and Sandalwood then make the woody foundation feel layered rather than flat, with Vanilla rounding the edges without erasing the resin.
The evolution
It begins with a clean hit of orange peel and Balsam Fir, bright enough to suggest daylight breaking through branches. As that brightness fades, the fragrance shifts toward a darker register. Frankincense and Benzoin bring a smoky, resinous pulse, while Oakmoss and Provençal Honey make the middle feel denser, greener, and distinctly sweet. That honey can become the dominant thread for some wearers, hanging over the woods rather than sitting beside them. Later, Pine and Cedarwood pull the composition back toward forest air and dry bark. Sandalwood adds smooth depth, and Vanilla leaves a soft, skin-warm finish. As the sharper opening gives way, the scent settles into warm resin, woods, and lingering vanilla, growing closer and more intimate on skin with each passing hour.
Cultural impact
You See Me Too takes its cues from Mariposa Grove in Yosemite, translating the feeling of standing inside a watchful forest into a fragrance of citrus, fir, resin, moss, honey, and woods. The result is a composition that invites the wearer to notice how each note shifts across the wear, moving from brightness to smoke, greenery, and warmth, and it connects the pleasure of fragrance with the atmosphere of a specific woodland place.
The House
Dor OlfactoryDor Olfactory is a women-led olfactory collective that treats scent as a medium for spatial and temporal storytelling. Rather than functioning as a traditional perfume house, it operates as a multidisciplinary studio where artists, researchers, designers, architects, and makers collaborate on fragrance projects. The brand launched its first named compositions in 2024, including Figure Me Out, Date With a Shaman, and Legno Sacro, followed by You See Me Too in 2025.
