Sound 2 by AEQUILL: A Floral Ode to Light and Warmth

Sound 2 is a 2022 creation from niche house AEQUILL, crafted by perfumer Ecka Mordecai. This unisex fragrance weaves a luminous floral narrative with a touch of honeyed sweetness.

From the first spray, Sicilian citrus and saffron create a sparkling opening, while mimosa and honey add a soft, golden glow. It's a scent that feels both airy and intimate.

The opening of Sound 2 is a burst of solar energy. Sicilian citrus provides a vibrant freshness, while saffron adds a spicy, slightly metallic nuance. Mimosa, with its velvety texture, and honey, which sweetens without cloying, create a bridge to the floral heart.

In the heart, violet leaves introduce a subtle, almost powdery greenness, contrasting with narcissus, which has a deep, slightly animalic aroma. Magnolia and jasmine bring a white, creamy elegance, rounding out the composition with an enveloping softness.

The base settles on a woody cedar foundation, which lends structure and a dry touch, while amber adds warmth and persistence. This combination achieves a balance between the luminous and the earthy, the floral and the woody.

In terms of performance, Sound 2 has a moderate sillage and a longevity of several hours, ideal for those who seek a fragrance that accompanies without being overwhelming. Its evolution is linear in that the floral character remains constant, but with nuances that emerge over time.

The composition by Ecka Mordecai is a showcase of mastery: each note seems precisely placed, creating a harmonious effect that invites introspection. It's not a loud perfume, but rather a soft melody that reveals itself gradually.

Those who appreciate refined florals with a modern twist, and who enjoy fragrances that transition from day to evening. Ideal for anyone seeking a versatile, elegant scent with character, without falling into the conventional.

Sound 2 is a beautifully balanced composition that showcases the artistry of AEQUILL. Its floral heart is both classic and contemporary, making it a versatile addition to any collection. A fragrance that invites discovery and leaves a lasting impression.
