Being Serene — the fragrance of inner balance
Being Being Serene is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2025 by the British fragrance brand.
The name of the composition refers to a state of calm, yet its character can hardly be called quiet or inconspicuous: the fragrance combines freshness, floral transparency and an expressive warm base.
Being Serene belongs to the floral and leather families, while its olfactive profile brings together citrus, aquatic, aromatic, spicy, woody, amber and musky facets.
This combination makes the perfume multifaceted: it smells clean and composed, gradually taking on a deeper, more sensual texture.
Character and development
At first, Being Serene comes across as a cool, energetic and slightly spicy fragrance.
Citrusy sparkle blends with a marine accord, spicy nuances and the resinous, balsamic facet of elemi, creating a sense of fresh air and a clear morning.
As it develops, the composition becomes softer and more rounded.
Floral notes form a polished, modern heart without excessive sweetness, while green and aromatic accents reinforce the feeling of cleanliness.
Thanks to this, the perfume retains its versatility and does not come across as distinctly feminine or masculine.
The dry-down is built around amber warmth, sandalwood, vetiver, musk, tonka beans and a leather accord.
The base leaves behind a smooth woody-leathery trail with gentle sweetness and noticeable depth, so the fragrance becomes especially interesting on the skin several hours after application.
Longevity and sillage
According to the stated characteristics, Being Serene has very strong sillage.
This is important to keep in mind when applying it: compositions with such presence develop best when used in moderation, especially in enclosed spaces, offices and public transport.
There is no precise recommendation for the number of sprays on skin and clothing, so it is best to find the ideal intensity gradually.
Start with a small amount on the skin and assess the fragrance's development after 20–30 minutes: the rich base may project more noticeably than it seems immediately after application.
The perfumer and the fragrance's place in the brand's style
The composition was created by Kamila Lelakova. In Being Serene, her work is built on the contrast between a light, airy opening and a dense, sensual foundation.
It is precisely this transition from freshness to leather, wood and amber that gives the fragrance its individuality and keeps it from blending into the crowd of conventional citrus-floral compositions.
For Being as a British brand, the release demonstrates a commitment to versatile perfumery with a distinct character.
Being Serene will appeal to those looking for an everyday fragrance without sacrificing longevity or expressive sillage.
It can be a successful choice for a walk, a business meeting or an evening out, provided the dosage is adapted to the occasion.
Similar fragrances
To explore a similar mood, consider Balmain Vent Vert, and compare Being Serene with Edgardio Chilini The Great Gatsby and Edgardio Chilini Lemon Sorbet.
These fragrances offer a new perspective on the composition's fresh, floral and elegant facets, although Being Serene stands out with its more pronounced leathery-woody dry-down.
