Rating of the top 10 best perfumes for women and men according to KP

When it comes to domestic perfumery, once again you are convinced how unique our country is. The flavors of some local brands can be bought, for example, by visiting Auchan for groceries. Or you will have to suffer a lot, tracking the appearance of your favorite, unique perfume in the assortment of a tiny brand from the province.

Diversity is what perfumery is all about. Classic compositions or daring unusual combinations, layering or a single component, perfume at the price of a top from Zara or for which you have to pay the entire salary of a teacher – all this is on the market.

We will talk about only a few of its representatives, the brightest and most interesting, in our opinion.

1. NSE

Serious guys with recognition in the international arena. And this is despite the fact (or maybe just because of this) that instead of ocean breezes and refined Provencal lavender in their compositions, there are raw asphalt, herbs dried at the grandmother’s dacha, sweet honey from the market.

Reading the descriptions of the fragrances on their website is like having dinner at a new art restaurant. And he ate his fill, and received aesthetic pleasure.

In addition to perfumes, the brand creates care products – of course, they are just as unique and fragrant.

By the way, NŌSE loves experiments: they work not only in commerce, but also create projects with public and cultural spaces, with museums.

What to buy:

Aroma-meditation “Meadow tea”, berries and forest – “Awake”

2. MAYME?

What will happen if a few representatives of aviation come down to solid ground and want to create beautiful (and fragrant)? New perfume house.

MAYME? quite young. The perfume brand was born in the troubled times of the pandemic, in 2020. And despite the circumstances, it is developing successfully.

Under this brand, niche perfumes are sold, as well as fragrances for the home. Do not be afraid of combinations of incense and passion fruit, currant and cotton candy, tobacco and mint? Oh, then you should definitely check it out! Any fragrance from the collection is suitable for both men and women – it’s only a matter of taste.

And by the way, every product of this brand is vegan-friendly. Nothing is tested on pets, there are no animal products, and the bottles are made from recyclable materials.

What to buy:

A set of seven fragrances “walk set 7” – for a close acquaintance with the brand, as well as woody or chocolate-berry dry perfumes.

3. Anna Zworykina Perfumes

Anna Zworykina proclaims “perfume body-positive”. Who is with us?

These are not the fragrances that we used to imagine and what (most often) we use. These are “non-perfumes”, according to the creator of the brand.

Important! The composition contains only natural ingredients, of which there are more than 500 in the aroma palette of Anna Zworykina Perfumes! The rich collection is represented by landscape, warm, gothic and leather fragrances. And you can also buy a tasting “portion” of spirits. Or write about your tastes – and the perfumer will pick up what you will be crazy about.

“150 days to summer”, “Honey and tar”, a set of fragrances “For gentlemen”

4. Lab Fragrance

The perfume brand from Our Country strives to create high-quality selective products that will be affordable for any budget. Despite the fact that the company is only 5 years old, they already have a fairly wide product line.

The names of the fragrances (for example, “The Secret”, “Arabian Night”) and the design of the bottles are a bit “retro”, this is the brand’s feature that makes it recognizable.

Here you can find perfumes for women and men, as well as unisex, of course.

What to buy:

“Ambroxan”, which is revealed differently on each, “The Eagle by Khabib” – if you or your man is a fan of Nurmagomedov.

5. Magma

A self-taught perfumer, a manual “assembly” of the composition in 40 steps, a limited collection – everything beckons to look here. Magma creates perfumes not “for a date” or “for the office”, but … for a person. With all its roughness of character, moods and states. This perfume is a bosom friend.

There are 7 different non-trivial aromas in the assortment, and you can also order a set of samplers to be sure to choose what you like. The aroma of a clean body, splashes of sparkling or elegant gardenia with green peas – what will we take?

By the way, each perfume can be ordered in one of three volume options: 2, 15 and 30 ml. Practical!

What to buy:

“Chocoholic” – treat yourself to something delicious.

6. Nikkos-Oskol Fragrance

This perfume brand does not create unique perfumes. Here only … olfactory blanks. Professionals offer a game: they sorted many fragrances alphabetically, creating a perfume constructor, and you can assemble your own unique perfume from scent letters. This is a super-quest for lovers of interesting flavors and fascinating stories!

Each letter is 1,5 ml of the base composition. You can mix them at home, following the instructions from the brand, or get a custom-made bottle with a ready-made “personalized” perfume. Only 33 fragrances – and more than half a million unique perfumes!

True, if you are new to perfumery, it is better to limit yourself to short words of 3-7 letters.

The Nikkos-Oskol Fragrance assortment includes not only perfumes for everyone, but also fragrances for home, office or car.

What to buy:

Discovery set – to create your own fragrance

7. Fakoshima perfumes

In 2013, it was a fashion eyewear brand, and then the creator became interested in perfumery. In 2020, Konstantin Shilyaev and Yaroslav Simonov released their first fragrance (only 30 bottles!). Two years later, Fakoshima perfumes proudly call themselves “modern classics”.

Each of their compositions is a moment of life that you don’t want to let go. Aroma notes are certainly suede or leather, cognac or rum, an abundance of spices and something subtle, but very desirable.

So far, there are only a few items to choose from: perfumes and eau de parfum, sprays for the home and aromatic paper for fumigating spaces. But in all this one feels a solid “male” approach.

What to buy:

Perfume “TEAR YOU APART EXTRAIT” – for joy and delight, scented paper “SMOKED RASPBERRY” – at least in order to acquire a stylish ashtray.

8. VORONOI

The brand offers to experience the best impressions and valuable memories with it. To do this, there is a whole arsenal of sweet, woody, oriental, aquatic and other flavor variations.

VORONOI cleverly combines leather and black tea, Peru balsam and oakmoss, sea salt and vanilla. Laconic, moreover, unusual aromas in mercury-colored bottles will appeal to both the lady and her life partner.

By the way, to get acquainted with this perfume brand, you can purchase a mini-set of three fragrances or a maxi-set of 11 samples.

What to buy:

“Perfume without perfume” – fragrance “Void”, “Woods in Fog” – for self-confident people

9. Brocade

Aksakals of the perfumery and cosmetic market of Our Country. The history of the company begins with the modern stage of the history of the country, in 1991. Today this holding is a real giant of the industry.

Not surprisingly, the company is a multiple winner of the International Perfumery Competition “Fragrance of the Year” and the owner of the award “For Contribution to the Development of Perfumery in Our Country”.

What to buy:

“Morning Star” – for a sweet morning, the Black Swan elixir – to emphasize the zest

10. Pure Sense

The founder of this perfume brand, Ekaterina Zinchenko, is a former event organizer. Seriously fascinated by perfumery, she also set out to make her fragrance business socially oriented. And did!

The spirits in the company are created by the blind. This is not just a “marketing ploy”: the authors of the perfumes in Pure Sense are people who have undergone special training, and their perception of the world helps to create truly subtle compositions, “aroma-states”.

So far, only three versions of perfume are on sale, and a few more aroma candles for harmony in the house. Perfume can be purchased as a set (more profitable!) Or, for starters, buy a set of miniatures.

By the way, on the company’s website you can personally thank the creators of the fragrances (in monetary terms).

What to buy:

Mini versions of the perfume with postcards from the creators and cards with inspirational phrases from Pure Sense friends.

How to choose the right perfume

If you have bought a perfume for yourself at least once in your life, then you know for sure: choosing by the brand or the appearance of the bottle is reckless. And the components of the base, heart and top notes may be unfamiliar. Therefore, according to the description, even a very detailed one, it is also difficult to choose a dream perfume. How to be?

For starters, you need to decide on a budget. If you are ready to allocate no more than two thousand for a perfume, then it will be either 30-50 ml from the mass market, or 2-10 ml of a selective composition.

Before you go shopping, remember the names of the scents you like. Have you owned a perfume in the past that is now discontinued, or have you tasted something interesting at Rive Gauche? Share your preferences with a store or online boutique consultant, and the chances of finding the perfect perfume will increase many times over.

If you have the time and desire to find something “not like everyone else”, you can look through the websites of small perfume brands that create very small collections. Having picked up a fragrance from them, you definitely will not get lost in the crowd.
