The Character of the Fragrance
Der Duft In Flagranti is a 2023 eau de parfum from Der Duft, a young German perfume house founded in Munich in 2020.
The brand name translates as “Fragrance,” and its aesthetic is built around bold interpretations of familiar olfactory motifs and an interest in contemporary perfume culture.
In Flagranti continues this direction: the composition is expressive, sensual and noticeable, while retaining a versatile unisex positioning.
The fragrance belongs to the floral, fruity and gourmand families, while its character is further revealed through amber, aromatic, green, musky, sweet and woody nuances.
This is neither a quiet nor a background fragrance: In Flagranti has a very powerful sillage, quickly creating a noticeable scented aura around the wearer.
This perfume will appeal to those who enjoy rich compositions, a striking entrance and an expressive finish.
Concept and Perfumer
In Flagranti was created by Antonio Alessandria.
His work here can be perceived as a play on contrasts: juicy fruity sweetness meets green freshness, white flowers meet soft vanilla and musky depth, while the woody-ambery base gives the fragrance density.
As a result, the fragrance is more than simple fruity sweetness and gradually becomes fuller, warmer and more seductive.
The name In Flagranti, evoking passion discovered in the act, perfectly conveys the mood of the release.
It combines flirtation, sensuality and a touch of provocation, while the composition remains versatile enough for different styles.
Its unisex presentation allows it to unfold differently: on some skin, juicy fruits and caramel will stand out more strongly; on other skin, white florals, green or woody nuances may come to the fore.
Development and Sillage
At the opening, In Flagranti comes across as a bright fruity-sweet accord with a juicy, almost appetizing character.
As it develops, the composition gains floral expressiveness, while green and aromatic nuances add dynamism and keep the fragrance from becoming flat.
The drydown leaves a warm, soft and long-lasting trail with amber, vanilla, musk and sandalwood nuances.
Its very powerful sillage makes this perfume especially suitable for evenings, celebrations, dates, concerts or other occasions where a memorable scent is desired.
For the office, small rooms and hot weather, it is best to apply it cautiously: the base and white florals can quickly fill the space.
No precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing are provided, so the ideal intensity should be determined by testing the fragrance first.
Notes and Mood
In Flagranti combines apricot, peach, strawberry and raspberry with caramel, vanilla, amber, musk and sandalwood.
The floral facet is shaped by jasmine, lily of the valley, orange blossom and tuberose, while basil and galbanum add a green, fresh and slightly bitter contrast.
The result is a rich fruity-floral fragrance with a gourmand accent and a pronounced woody-ambery depth.
Who Will Enjoy In Flagranti
This fragrance is worth trying for fans of expressive sweet compositions, juicy fruity accords and white florals.
It can be equally intriguing on women and men, especially when the look allows for a bold perfume accent.
Those looking for a lighter, more transparent scent should begin by testing it on skin and allowing it time to unfold.
For further comparison, consider Montale Roses Elixir, as well as Brocard Moda and Bershka Pink Shades.
They occupy a similar fruity-floral territory, but differ in density, nuances and overall style.
Among such compositions, In Flagranti stands out above all for its powerful sillage, amber-rich depth and more pronounced gourmand character.
