Composed by Anselm Skogstad
Here, a playground is not a swing set or a childhood memory. It is a place where others' expectations briefly cease, and you choose your own rules again. DER DUFT Playground translates that freedom into a green, clean, and vibrant scent.
Calabrian bergamot cuts through the juiciness of honeydew melon, while marine notes remain in the background. The opening is aquatic, but more green than salty, with enough fruity fullness to not appear transparent.
Lily of the valley, jasmine absolute, and tiare give the freshness a floral body. Lily of the valley retains a crisp greenness, jasmine brings breadth, and tiare just a slight creaminess.
Cashmere wood slowly changes the fragrance's texture. With musk and white amber, it leaves a soft, neat trail on the skin, without losing the brightness of the first few minutes.
Anselm Skogstad envisioned Playground as a 50 ml Parfum for moments when you desire lightness that still has structure. It will suit you if you love melon, lily of the valley, and green freshness; it won't if you expect salt, a storm, and dramatic depth from a marine perfume. This is freedom that smells neat, but never obedient.
