Perfumer: Kévin Mathys
In this perfume story, the smoky gaiac aroma is gliding across a fresh and boundless ozonic void.
The story is open to interpretation: you can smell the waterproof canvas of the parachute gear in the abstract clean woodiness of the formula; or the air from under the tarpaulin you pull off a glider in its hangar; or think of any scenario involving flying machinery and an unlimited supply of fresh air.
The perfumer wanted to achieve a hazy floating shadow of an aroma, evoking a sensation of endless dark blue space, the calm humming of an engine, and hints of gasoline or machine oil. A worthy heir to the grandpa of all hazy smoky formulas inspired by airplane wings: Guerlain’s Vol de Nuit.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Flight Mode suggests the quiet pause inside a hangar before departure: cool air around folded canvas, with a trace of smoke and softened leather. Its register is composed and slightly detached, the woody warmth keeping that sense of open space from feeling austere.
How to wear
Try it in mild or cooler weather, when the lavender-lime opening can contrast with the warmer rum, suede and vanilla. Start with one or two sprays on skin; a restrained application suits its hazy character, while warmth may draw the sweeter woody facets forward.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to airy woods and supple leather rather than dense smoke or heavy sweetness. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy lavender and citrus freshness with a more abstract, faintly mechanical character beneath it.
