Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

The modern perfumery map of the world is no longer limited to France and Italy. Increasingly, big discoveries are happening where traditions intertwine with boldness. One such unique project is Panthenol EXTRA, a young perfume brand from Georgia, founded in 2021. Its name sounds almost like a medical term, and this is no accident: the concept is based on the idea of skin care and emotional comfort, reimagined through the language of fragrances. These are not just perfumes — they are a daily self-care ritual, where each bottle promises not only a beautiful sillage, but also a feeling of "extra care".
The brand's homeland is Georgia, a country with ancient winemaking traditions, picturesque mountains, and a special cult of hospitality. However, the founders of Panthenol EXTRA decided not to follow the beaten path of ethnic notes. Instead, they created a universal, cosmopolitan line where the main accents are purity, freshness, and tactile softness. The name "Panthenol" is a direct reference to provitamin B5, known for its moisturizing and soothing properties. Thus, the brand declares: its fragrances are created to give the skin not only a scent, but also a feeling of velvetiness and health.
In a short time, Panthenol EXTRA has released over a dozen fragrances, and some of them have already become real hits. Among them, Panthenol EXTRA - Rose Powder Kiss stands out — a delicate, powdery-rose fougère, like a promise of an airy kiss. A completely different mood is given by Panthenol EXTRA - Dark Shadows: a mystical, woody-spicy unisex that is perfect for evening outings. And for those looking for the embodiment of femininity, Panthenol EXTRA - Femme is created — a classic floral-musky accord with a modern twist.
Special attention deserves the fresh marine line. Panthenol EXTRA - Vitamin Sea is a real gulp of iodine and citrus, a fragrance that instantly transports you to the Black Sea coast. And Panthenol EXTRA - Blue Flames surprises with the contrast of a blue aquatic accord and warm amber notes. Minimalism lovers will surely appreciate Panthenol EXTRA - Bare Skin — a transparent, almost weightless scent of clean skin with a hint of salt and white flowers. This fragrance fully justifies the brand's philosophy: "scent as a second skin".
Although many of the brand's fragrances sound feminine, Panthenol EXTRA is consistently developing its men's direction. Panthenol EXTRA - Men is a fresh, slightly spicy cocktail with a dominance of bergamot and vetiver, created for an active urban style. Not to be left behind are unisex novelties: Panthenol EXTRA - Figment Aura plays on the contrast of fig and grey amber, while Panthenol EXTRA - Deep Echo immerses you in dark woody-resinous undertones with an echo of frankincense. The collection is completed by the delicate Panthenol EXTRA - Wild Petal — a herbaceous-fruity watercolor study reminiscent of wild fields.
Notably, the brand does not yet disclose the names of the specific perfumers working on the formulas. This creates intrigue and focuses attention on the product itself. However, based on the quality of raw materials and the development of compositions, one can feel the hand of experienced professionals. Perhaps Panthenol EXTRA has an international team, or Georgian perfumers who have trained in European schools. In any case, each bottle demonstrates a commendable level — above-average longevity, a beautiful sillage, and original note combinations.
The audience of Panthenol EXTRA is girls and young women aged 18 to 50 who value tenderness, comfort, and modern sound in perfumery. The brand's fragrances are often described as "cozy," "wrapping," and "complimentary." They are rarely sharp or provocative — rather, they are perfume-mood that you want to wear every day. Reviews on social media note that the line is perfect for the office, romantic dates, and the warm season. Many fans admit: starting with Rose Powder Kiss, they gradually collect the entire collection.
Particular interest is drawn by the absence of strongly pronounced "niche" notes — the brand relies on transparency and lightness. This is a deliberate move that allows the fragrances to be as wearable as possible. Moreover, the name Panthenol EXTRA creates an associative link with skincare cosmetics, which especially appeals to audiences following trends of clean beauty and skinification of perfume. You can buy perfumes both in the official online store and in perfume boutiques in Georgia and CIS countries. The brand is also actively developing its presence on social media, sharing personal stories and tips for choosing fragrances.
If you are looking for a fresh name on the perfume map — take a closer look at Panthenol EXTRA. This Georgian project has already proven that even a young brand can create fragrances worthy of attention. Start with the bestsellers, and then discover the whole range — perhaps in this collection you will find your new signature scent.
