🎞️ The Inspiration: Guillermo del Toro (2017)
A cinematic romance between worlds; humid laboratories and the green-blue magic of the deep. The Shape of Water captures the atmospheric, moody, and nostalgic soul of the film. It highlights the Damp Moss, Salty Skin, and Transparent Fruit. It is romantic and beautifully detached.

The scent opens with Ozone and Mandarin. The heart is Lychee and Peony. The base is Oakmoss and Skin Musk. It is evocative.
