Karat EG embodies nostalgia for moments in our past, and the bright hopefulness for the future.

Accord: A blended impression of several notes reading as one — the chords of perfumery.
Sillage: From the French for 'wake' — the scented trail a fragrance leaves in the air behind its wearer.
The pyramid: Top notes greet first and lift away; heart notes carry the composition; base notes remain on skin for hours.
