Liis Ethereal Wave

Some scents announce themselves. This one drifts in. LIIS Ethereal Wave opens on a bright lift of bergamot and warm, faintly smoky cardamom, then softens into the quiet of white tea and black tea absolute before settling on blonde woods and a velvety musk that seems to live in the skin rather than sit on top of it. It is fresh and hypnotic at once, named for the dreamlike ethereal wave music genre and built around the blending of opposites: light and shadow, clarity and depth.

Why we keep it on the shelf

Ethereal Wave is the fragrance our stylists reach for when a client wants to smell expensive without smelling loud. It reads clean and modern, never sweet, and it shifts beautifully through the day as the tea and wood notes come forward. Genderless by design, it suits almost anyone who walks through the door, which is exactly why it earns a place next to a fresh set of extensions or a new color.

• Scent family: aromatic green, fresh and clean with a soft woody-musk finish
• Notes: bergamot and cardamom over white tea and black tea absolute, resting on blonde woods and velvet musk
• Made with organic sugarcane alcohol; vegan, cruelty-free and allergy-tested
• Formulated without phthalates, sulfates, dyes or added preservatives
• Size: 50ml eau de parfum, crafted in California

How to wear it

Mist onto pulse points once skin is clean and just moisturized, so the fragrance has something to hold onto. Two light passes at the wrists and the base of the throat is plenty. This is a gentle, close-wearing eau de parfum, so refresh through the day whenever you want that soft tea-and-musk trail back. Let it dry down naturally rather than rubbing it in.

Find it at the atelier

Fragrance is one of those things you really want to try before you commit to it, and that is half the pleasure of shopping with us. Come sample Ethereal Wave in person at the Studio Beige atelier in Destin, wear it a while, and take home the bottle that feels like you. If you are already in for a service, ask your stylist to bring it over so you can live with it on warm Emerald Coast skin before you decide.
