Benjamin Vicuña Union
Union Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance by Benjamin Vicuña, released in 2024.
This eau de parfum has a distinctive character, built around a combination of floral, spicy and woody nuances.
The fragrance is suited to those who appreciate noticeable compositions with a rich presence and a confident character.
Benjamin Vicuña is a Chilean perfume brand, and Union reflects the house’s interest in multifaceted fragrances that are not limited by strict gender classifications.
Its unisex format makes the composition open to different styles and moods: it can easily find a place in both a women’s and a men’s fragrance wardrobe.
There is no available information about a separate collection, other concentrations or the perfumer who created the fragrance.
Character and development
From the first minutes, Union Eau de Parfum smells fresh, sparkling and slightly spicy, gradually transitioning into a softer floral heart.
As it develops, the composition becomes more dimensional: transparent, clean facets are joined by warm woody and musky nuances.
In the dry-down, the fragrance retains its density, leaving a refined, slightly mossy and ambery impression on the skin.
Union’s distinctive feature is the contrast between its fresh opening and deep base. Bergamot adds radiance and dynamism, while cardamom accentuates its spicy facet.
As a result, the fragrance never feels flat: it develops gradually and is especially intriguing in motion and when it meets warm skin.
Sillage and wearability
Union is described as having very strong sillage, so it makes a noticeable impression in the air and is well suited to those who enjoy a striking fragrance presence.
It is best to apply it sparingly at first: this rich eau de parfum can remain expressive and long-lasting.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to find the ideal amount individually.
The composition is especially suitable for cool weather, evenings, meetings or events when you want to emphasize your individuality.
It can also be worn in warmer seasons, but it is better to start with a minimal number of sprays and take its powerful sillage into account.
On clothing, the fragrance may last longer, while skin allows you to observe a smoother, more vivid development.
Similar fragrances
To explore a similar style, consider Calvin Klein CK One, Yves Saint Laurent Paris and Calvin Klein CK One Collector's Edition.
These options offer an opportunity to compare different interpretations of freshness, floral notes and a versatile character. Union, however, stands out with its denser sillage and pronounced woody-spicy base.
