Plenty of vetiver, fig and sweet grapefruit: we analyze the latest fragrances

It is no secret that the categories of decorative cosmetics and perfumery suffer the most due to the departure of major players in the beauty industry from the Russian market. Especially perfumes. That’s why we’re excited to present you 10 new fragrances at once. To choose!

Eau de Parfum Grapefruit Production, DS & Durga

Of course, you shouldn’t expect a classic grapefruit from a rebellious perfume brand. Rather, it is a non-alcoholic cocktail with a citrus tonic, elderberry nectar, and ice cubes. And at some point (mostly in hot weather) GG’s skin starts to smell like a bouquet of white flowers. As if inside the bottle, time turned back and the ripe grapefruits on the branches first turned green, then completely blossomed.

Eau de Parfum Outcast Blue, Ex Nihilo

The new fragrance is part of House’s Iconoclaste collection and is dedicated to rebels and poets. It smells like the oak barrels in which whiskey has been brewing for years, and like a cigar on the porch of a French bistro just before it closes, and like dear, expensive but already a bit worn leather shoes. We used to wear this scent with oversized suits and vests. And also when you need to show everyone who the domineering girl is.

Eau de Parfum Encelade by Marc-Antoine Barrois

The Marc-Antoine Barrois brand has almost “ripped” the Russian niche perfume market with the fragrance Ganymede, where a virtual queue literally lined up at Cosmotheca stores. And now the same success is expected for the new fragrance of the Encelade brand, created by Quentin Bisch, one of the main perfumers of our time. Encelade is roasted and smells like predatory poison green vines that grow on rocky ground. And a drop of Tabasco in the Bloody Mary. You should definitely go and see it live.

Eau de Parfum Fig Infusion, Essential Perfumes

There is a widespread belief that fig is now one of the most sought-after notes in perfumes. We will not argue, but we will clarify that a lot depends on how the same fig is served. For example, in the new Fig Infusion, it is black tea with fresh herbs and a saucer with juicy, already cracked fruits of the color of the cosmos on it. A very comfortable everyday fragrance.

Eau de toilette Pardon my French, Mayme?

The citrus fragrance of the Russian brand is dedicated to a vacation in Provence (the olfactory journey is also a journey) and smells of lime, as well as still wet earth and dry August field crops. Aroma – straw hat and sun rays.

Cologne “The Pink Panther”, “Library of Fragrances”

Tudum-thudum, thud-dum… well, what are we talking about? About the new fragrance, dedicated both to the same cartoon panther and to the rarest type of diamond. I love that the fragrance fully reflects both aspects: it looks like sugar, but it’s also powdery with obvious musky. Suitable for those who like to eat lazy.

Perfume Vetiver, Molinard

A truly exemplary vetiver! Dry, warm roots are lavishly flavored and fumigated with grapefruit peels and tiny violets. For those who prefer simple but full-bodied fragrances.

Eau de Parfum F006, Equivalent

The Russian brand, which until now has been quite mysterious to us, produces delightful compositions at a very affordable price. F006 is a tribute to a cottage with a hammock stretched between old apple trees, succulents and blackberry-red hands. A very lively and light fragrance with a slight sadness that summer doesn’t last forever.

Eau de Parfum 602 – Poivre, Cèdre, Patchouli, Bon Parfumeur Paris

The niche brand’s novelty smells faintly of tobacco (yes, that happens too) and warm cherry bark. A cozy aroma will help you reconcile with the first autumn days. Especially recommended for your favorite cardigan and rich lipstick.

Eau de Parfum Purely Orient Musc, Ajmal

If you haven’t heard of this brand before, take a closer look. This is literally a classic of oriental perfumery (although the Ajmal brand is only a little over 20 years old). Thick musk and pumpkin jam, rose petal delight and a thin wrap. I wonder how beautiful and comfortable it is!
