Adr_ett is quite a minimalistic scent. It's based on Helvetolide® (a synthetic musk molecule by Firmenich with aspects of pear and ambrette seed) and other notes are just emphasizing the different aspects of the main ingredient. Being sprayed on the skin it feels rather like a personal signature smell than a perfume. But even being minimalistic adr_ett feels quite complete with its fully developed aspects.
The opening of adr_ett gives me an elegant feeling of an iris perfume with a touch of sweetness of fresh watery pear. The musky aura triggers the associations with a fresh clothes and corresponds with a "neat" or "smartly dressed" meaning of the German "adrett". The "zero gravity" aspect of the scent appears to me as a sense of a soft cloud slowly floating above the ground. Adr_ett is subtle and transparent. stays close to the skin, but leaves an elegant aura and an impression of a groomed person which makes it a good scent for an office wear.
Side note: Helvetolide is a synthetic musk molecule patented by the Swiss company Firmenich in 1991 and named after Swiss Confideration (Confoederatio Helvetica in Latin) for its 700th anniversary. Helvetolide belongs to the generation of acyclic or linear musks. For the first time it was used in 1997 in Swiss Army scent sold on Swissair planes. It is an elegant and expensive smelling musk with aspects of ambrette seed and pear.
