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...
Serpentia is an eau de parfum by Alfred Ritchy, released in 2025. This unisex fragrance is designed for those who enjoy expressive compositions with a noticeable presence and a multifaceted development.
The release comes from the French house Alfred Ritchy, founded in 2022 and quickly gaining the attention of modern perfume enthusiasts.
The name Serpentia suggests a fragrance that is flexible, fluid and slightly mysterious.
It combines an aquatic sense of freshness, juicy fruitiness and floral softness, while amber, musk, woody and gourmand nuances give the scent a rich, dimensional character.
At the same time, the composition is not confined by traditional ideas of women's or men's perfume: its character unfolds differently depending on the skin and individual style.
Serpentia opens bright and energetic, then becomes airier and more floral, before acquiring a warm, soft and sensual depth in the dry-down.
This transition creates the impression of a gradually changing fragrance that is interesting to follow throughout the day.
The composition will appeal to those who appreciate noticeable modern fragrances without restricting themselves to a particular season or strict dress code.
A very powerful sillage is one of Serpentia's defining features.
The fragrance can linger in the air long after you leave, making it especially suitable for outdoor wear, evening outings, events and cool weather.
In an office or a small space, its intensity should be taken into account, and a more restrained application is recommended.
The composition was created by Suzy Le Helley. Her work on Serpentia highlights Alfred Ritchy's desire to combine a clean, modern sound with an expressive base and a distinctive sillage.
As a result, the fragrance comes across not as a simple fruity-floral accord, but as a carefully constructed olfactory portrait with an evolving mood.
Serpentia may appeal to those looking for a versatile fragrance for men and women with a distinct personality.
It fits well into the wardrobe of anyone who enjoys vivid fruity and floral compositions, while its warm base allows it to feel more seductive and profound in the evening.
No information about the recommended dosage on skin or clothing is provided in the product card, so it is best to adjust the intensity gradually, starting with a small number of sprays.
For further exploration of compositions with a similar mood, consider Eisenberg I Am, as well as Escada Turquoise Summer and The Spirit of Dubai Turath.
They offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of fruity freshness, floral expressiveness and a noticeable sillage. Other concentrations of Serpentia are not listed in the available information.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The top notes open with a juicy combination of orange, peach, and raspberry. The opening is fruity, sparkling, and slightly sunny, with the gentle sweetness of ripe fruit.
The heart features Hedione, pink pepper, rose, sandalwood, and violet.
Floral nuances are enhanced by spicy piquancy and delicate woody notes, keeping the fragrance's heart dynamic and preventing it from becoming flat.
The base is built around ambroxan, Helvetolide, iris, vanilla, and musk. It gives Serpentia a warm, clean, and long-lasting character with a soft ambery-musky effect.
The overall palette combines ambery, citrus, floral, fruity, gourmand, musky, spicy, and woody nuances.
The fragrance is perceived as a combination of a fresh fruity opening, an airy floral heart, and a rich, sensual trail.
