All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of scent that suits close conversation and a polished, lightly flirtatious presence: fresh air on skin, a floral trail that stays near the body, and a clean sensuality that feels more intimate than loud. It reads as confident without trying too hard.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, where its aquatic opening and floral heart can stay bright and transparent. Apply lightly to pulse points or one spray more if you want the musky base to linger; on skin it stays soft and skin-like, with a gentle aura rather than heavy projection.
Who it’s for
For someone who likes fresh floral perfumes with a clean, musky finish and a touch of retro glamour. It will appeal to wearers who prefer airy transparency over sweetness, and who enjoy fragrances that feel luminous, feminine and subtly sensual.

The nose
Alberto Morillas. One of modern perfumery’s most influential noses, Morillas is known for a style that balances clarity, radiance and easy-to-read structure, with landmark creations such as CK One and Acqua di Gio. His work often turns simple materials into polished, memorable compositions with strong diffusion and a clean signature. For Like a Virgin, he took Madonna’s song as a cue for something literal but not heavy-handed: a transparent floral with aquatic freshness and a soft musky finish, capturing the song’s era and attitude without losing elegance.
Art Meets Art’s story
Art Meets Art builds fragrances from iconic songs, treating music as a creative brief rather than a theme. The house’s identity is rooted in collaboration with major perfumers and in the idea that scent can translate cultural memory into something wearable, modern and mood-driven.
Like a Virgin’s concept
Like a Virgin was conceived as a perfume interpretation of Madonna’s 1984 hit, with the brand asking Alberto Morillas to capture the song’s energy and the spirit of its era. The result is described as a subtle, literal translation: fresh, floral and lightly sensual, with an irreverent pop edge beneath the polish.
Extra info
The fragrance was inspired by Madonna’s 1984 song Like a Virgin and is part of Art Meets Art’s song-to-perfume concept. It became one of the house’s best-known scents, often described as a clean, airy floral musk.
Celebrity connection
Madonna is the cultural reference point behind the fragrance, through the song that inspired it.
