Unakite by Alexandra Gluck — mineral poetry
Unakite is a unisex fragrance by Alexandra Gluck, released in 2018.
This eau de parfum belongs to the Mineral collection, combining floral and fruity notes with green, spicy, woody and mineral nuances.
It is a fragrance for women and men who love unusual compositions with character and a distinctive presence.
The name Unakite refers to a natural stone, and the composition truly feels like an olfactory landscape: cool, damp and green, with nuances of moss, herbs and minerals.
At the same time, the fragrance does not feel detached or sterile — the fruity tartness of lingonberry and the soft, sweetly balsamic depth make it lively and full-bodied.
Character and development on the skin
Unakite opens with energy and contrast: spicy ginger meets tart rhubarb and rich tuberose.
This opening immediately gives the composition a sense of movement — it combines juicy greenery, piquant freshness and expressive white florals.
As it develops, the fragrance becomes more herbal and mineral.
Lingonberry adds a delicate sweet-and-sour facet, palmarosa softens the green nuances, while tarragon emphasizes the composition’s fresh, slightly bitter character.
A mineral accord brings these facets together, creating the impression of cool stone after rain.
In the base, Unakite takes on a darker, more textured character.
Labdanum, oakmoss, sage and vetiver create an earthy woody-herbal backdrop, while musk makes the trail softer and longer-lasting.
The fragrance retains its individuality throughout its development and will especially appeal to those who prefer unconventional combinations over predictable sweetness.
Wearability and sillage
In terms of positioning, Unakite is a versatile fragrance without a strict gender association.
It can be worn in cool spring weather, autumn and the transitional seasons, when mineral, mossy and herbal accords are particularly expressive.
The composition can also work in summer, but given its stated very strong sillage, evening wear and open spaces are preferable.
The recommended dosage for skin and clothing is not specified, so it is impossible to suggest an exact number of sprays.
Given the intense sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal application and assess the development on your own skin, increasing the amount if necessary.
The fragrance may last longer on fabric, so it is worth testing the material on an inconspicuous area before application.
The creator and the brand’s style
The fragrance was created by Alexandra Gluck.
Unakite conveys the idea of the brand as a personal creative project devoted to Russian perfumery poetry: natural images are transformed into a complex, emotional aromatic narrative.
The release demonstrates Alexandra Gluck’s desire to work not only with familiar floral and fruity themes, but also with mineral, mossy and herbal textures.
Those seeking a similar mood with a distinctive trail and multifaceted development may want to explore Tiziana Terenzi Arethusa.
However, Unakite retains its own identity through the combination of lingonberry, rhubarb, minerals, oakmoss and tuberose — a choice for discovering niche perfumery that smells bold, natural and unforgettable.
