Scents of eras: how perfume reflects the spirit of the times
Every era has its own scent. Not literally, but in how it felt: what it wanted, what it feared, what...
The history of the Coolife brand is the story of two creative friends who decided to revolutionize the world of perfumery through the lens of art and energy. Founded in 2014 in New York by Pauline Rojas and Carol Bopre, the house grew out of their successful art studio, where they had created visual images for giants like Estée Lauder for decades. This unique background in photography and still lifes defined the brand's philosophy: each fragrance is not just a scent, but a carefully composed "still life" for the sense of smell, designed to awaken emotions and influence a person's energetic state.
The country of origin is the USA, but the spirit of the brand is international. From the very beginning, Coolife attracted stars of world perfumery to collaborate, entrusting the creation of their compositions to masters such as Yann Vasnier, Luca Maffei, and Patricia Choux. This union of art and high perfumery craftsmanship became the DNA of the house.
What is this relatively young brand famous for? Coolife positions its creations not just as perfumes, but as powerful aphrodisiacs and tools for working with energy centers – chakras. The creators assure that their first fragrance, Le Premier Parfum, awakens "Svadhisthana" – the chakra of sensuality, located below the navel. This spiritual-energetic approach, rare in Western perfumery, immediately set Coolife apart from other niche brands.
Another interesting fact is that each batch of perfumes is released in strictly limited editions. This makes owning a bottle desirable and exclusive, turning the purchase into an event. The perfumes are created in a unisex style and, according to the creators, the purity and naturalness of their compositions allows them to be used even in aromatherapy sessions.
The Coolife perfume catalog is a small but curated collection, where each fragrance is numbered in the French manner (Le Premier, Le Deuxième, etc.), emphasizing the connection with high perfumery tradition. These are not separate lines, but a single story told in several perfumery "chapters." All of them are created in a unisex style and are suitable for those looking for something beyond gender stereotypes.
Where to start getting to know the brand? Of course, with the cult Le Premier Parfum – the house's signature scent, where pure essential oils of sandalwood and patchouli create a meditative, sensual aura. Another bestseller, Le Troisieme Parfum, often makes it to the top of the brand's fragrances thanks to its bright, almost hypnotic combination of floral and woody notes. And lovers of warm, enveloping compositions should pay attention to Le Septieme Parfum with its ambery-spicy character.
The Coolife style is always complex, multi-layered, and very naturalistic compositions. The house's perfumers, such as Yann Vasnier, skillfully work with essential oils, creating the sensation of a "living" bouquet or woody resin. Reviews of Coolife perfumery often note their incredible longevity and evolving sillage, which changes on the skin over many hours.
These perfumes are not for a quick impression. They are created for the evening, for special moments, for self-immersion. They are suitable for self-confident people of all ages who value in perfumery not only the scent, but also the story, philosophy, and personal response it evokes. In a world full of similar novelties, finding an analogue to Coolife fragrances is truly difficult – this is where their magic and value lie.
