## Essence
Wisteria is Acca Kappa's airy purple floral, also known as Glicine. Melon, citrus, wisteria, lilac, white lily, magnolia, vanilla, heliotrope, musk, amber, and sandalwood make a quiet floral-vanilla rather than a heady white-floral bomb.

## Scent Profile
The opening is watery fruit and citrus: melon, exotic fruits, bergamot, and Sicilian lemon. It is brief and delicate.

The heart suggests wisteria through lilac, white lily, and magnolia. The floral effect is pale, sweet, and lightly powdery. In the drydown, vanilla and heliotrope come forward, with musk, amber, and sandalwood making a close creamy skin scent.

## Performance
Performance is soft and close. Some wearers need many sprays to notice it, while a minority find it stronger. Expect a quiet floral-vanilla with moderate wear at best.

## Wearing Context
Wisteria suits spring, mild summer, daytime, office, close quarters, and private comfort. It is feminine and unobtrusive. It is not for projection or dramatic floral presence.

## Comparisons & DNA
Serge Lutens Un Lys is the key comparison, with Wisteria lighter, airier, and less plush. Calycanthus and Tilia Cordata are its Acca Kappa siblings. It also sits near soft lilac, lily, and powdery vanilla florals.

## Reception
Admirers value Wisteria because so few perfumes attempt the flower and because the scent feels serene and natural. Critics find it faint, generic, or too quickly swallowed by watery vanilla. The split is realism versus weakness.

## Versions & Reformulation
Wisteria and Glicine are names for the same scent. No dated reformulation is documented, though availability has changed over time.

## Acquisition Notes
The 15 ml travel size makes sampling easy when available. Watch the Wisteria/Glicine naming difference when ordering. Buy through Acca Kappa boutiques or established European stockists.
