Perfumery and time travel: retro fragrances and their history
Some bottles work like a ticket to another decade. You lift the cap — and suddenly it's the jazz of ...
Founded in 2018 in the United Arab Emirates, the brand Trend Perfumes quickly established itself as a fresh and ambitious player on the global perfume scene. Born at the crossroads of ancient trade routes and modern technology, it embodies the spirit of dynamic Dubai, which strives not just to follow trends but to create them. The brand's youth is its greatest strength, allowing free experimentation with compositions, unburdened by centuries-old traditions, yet drawing on the rich heritage of Eastern incense.
The philosophy of Trend Perfumes is based on a bold synthesis of contrasts: here, the power and sensuality of Eastern accords meet the clear structure and elegance of Western perfumery. The brand invites you to immerse yourself in fragrant stories where each bottle is not just perfume, but an invitation to a journey, whether to the skyscrapers of a metropolis or deep into ancient myths.
The brand's catalog can be roughly divided into two key directions that reveal its multifaceted DNA. The first is an ode to the great cities of the world. Inspired by the energy of modern capitals, perfumers create fragrant portraits full of character. Trend Perfumes - New York might convey the dynamic rhythm and cold gleam of glass and metal, while Dubai likely represents a radiant mix of luxury, spices, and solar warmth. The fragrance Moscow suggests a composition with deep, perhaps frosty or emotionally rich notes, reflecting the contrasts of the Russian capital.
The second, equally captivating direction is a dive into the world of symbols, myths, and abstract concepts. The line inspired by the myth of Icarus is a vivid example. Icarus, its bolder version Icarus Intense, and the mysterious Icarus Noir play with themes of flight, audacity, sun, and downfall through the lens of perfumery. Names like Celtic Triquetra evoke ancient European symbolism, creating bridges between cultures.
Trend Perfumes positions itself as a unisex brand, which aligns with modern trends where boundaries between masculine and feminine in perfumery are increasingly blurred. Their fragrances are created for personality, not gender. The brand primarily works with high concentration—extrait or eau de parfum—ensuring richness, depth, and impressive longevity, highly valued by niche perfume enthusiasts. This is a choice for those who want the fragrance to be not just background noise, but a full part of their image, leaving a memorable trail.
Despite its youth, the brand demonstrates a mature approach to composition, often relying on noble, complex materials. Its portfolio prominently features rich, dark accords: the sensual Oud of Night, earthy and hypnotic Patchouli Intense, and resinous-smoky Luban Vetiver, combining frankincense (luban) with the green coolness of vetiver. These fragrances speak of confidence and a deep understanding of discerning audiences.
For a first introduction to the brand, it's worth turning to its most discussed creations. The Icarus trilogy is an excellent starting point to appreciate how the brand develops a single theme in different directions, from sunny-spicy to dark-mysterious. Lovers of classic Eastern luxury will undoubtedly enjoy Oud of Night or Patchouli Intense—these are statement fragrances full of character and passion.
Those seeking a more conceptual and geographical journey should explore New York or Dubai. These fragrances are a real challenge to the imagination, inviting you to feel the spirit of a city through the art of perfumery. Each of these works demonstrates the brand's key strength: the ability to create concise, evocative compositions with a strong individuality.
Trend Perfumes is a brand worth watching. It is not afraid of bold names, complex themes, and rich compositions, which elicits a lively response in the perfume enthusiast community. Combining Eastern generosity of accords with global narratives, it offers a unique sensory experience. For collectors seeking new names with potential and for all who appreciate not only beauty but also intellectual play in perfumery, Trend Perfumes is one of the most intriguing discoveries of recent years.
