Klea opens with crisp mandarin and bergamot, while olive leaf adds an aromatic quality. As it warms on the skin, light and dewy floral notes of water lily, magnolia and jasmine reveal themselves. The citrus and florals intermingle with an aquatic sea salt note, reminiscent of warm skin drying in the sun after a dip in the sea. Papyrus and cedar ground the fragrance with a gentle woodiness, while amber, Egyptian musk and tonka bean add a softly regal quality.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close, sunlit company rather than loud entrances: the kind of fragrance that feels most natural on warm skin, with its citrus, salt and white florals moving softly in the air. It suits a composed, polished presence that reads fresh at first touch and quietly sensual as the day warms.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in mild to warm weather where the citrus, florals and sea-salt accord can stay luminous. Apply a moderate amount; it wears best when allowed to sit close to the skin, where the musk, amber and woods create a smooth, powdery trail without becoming heavy.
Who it’s for
For someone who likes green-floral compositions with a clean citrus opening, airy white florals and a soft musky-woody finish. It will appeal to wearers who want freshness with a sensual edge, and who enjoy fragrances that feel polished rather than sharp.

Brandt’s story
House of Brandt is a luxury niche house built around the idea of purposeful creation: polished compositions, refined materials and a strong sense of design. Its fragrances aim for technical precision and a clear narrative line, balancing beauty with performance.
Klea’s concept
Klēa was inspired by the legend of Cleopatra’s perfumed voyage across the Mediterranean to meet Marc Antony, a story the house uses as a framework for the scent’s bright opening, dewy floral heart and regal woody-musky drydown. The result is meant to evoke perfume arriving before the wearer, carried on warm air and sea spray.
Extra info
Klēa is one of House of Brandt’s newer releases and remains in production. Its name is usually presented as KLĒA, and the composition is often noted for pairing white florals with papyrus, an unusual dry, textured accent in this style.
