Cimabue Perfume — a niche story by DSH Perfumes
Cimabue Perfume by DSH Perfumes is a rich unisex fragrance in perfume, or extrait, concentration.
The composition belongs to two expressive fragrance families at once — chypre and floral — combining radiant citrus freshness, spicy depth, and a dense balsamic trail.
This fragrance was created for those who appreciate distinctive, unconventional compositions and want their perfume to make a noticeable impression from the very first minutes.
Cimabue Perfume does not aim to remain an unobtrusive background scent: its exceptionally strong sillage creates a pronounced aromatic space around the wearer and unfolds especially beautifully in cool air.
The Fragrance's Character and Development
Cimabue Perfume opens with a contrast between juicy citrus fruits and dry spices.
Bergamot, bitter orange, clementine, lemon, and neroli create a bright, sparkling introduction, while cardamom and nutmeg add spicy definition.
The extrait's signature density is noticeable from the very beginning: the citrus facet quickly takes on a warm, resinous depth.
In the heart, the composition becomes more floral and textured.
Rose, tuberose, grandiflorum jasmine, and geranium intertwine with cinnamon, saffron, two facets of carnation, beeswax, and sandalwood.
As a result, the floral accord sounds not airy and weightless, but rich, spicy, and almost honeyed, while retaining its recognizable chypre structure.
The final stage of development is deep, warm, and resinous.
Benzoin, labdanum, and opoponax create a dark balsamic backdrop; sandalwood softens it with creamy woods, while vanilla adds a rounded gourmand sweetness.
The result is a long-lasting, rich trail with nuances of spices, resins, flowers, and warm woods.
Who Cimabue Perfume Is For
Cimabue Perfume is positioned as a unisex fragrance and can sound equally natural on a woman or a man.
It is a choice for confident niche fragrance enthusiasts who are drawn to complex compositions with noticeable development on the skin.
The fragrance is suitable for evenings, formal occasions, the theatre, or an intimate gathering where its rich development can unfold in full.
Because of its very strong sillage, it should be applied with care: no precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing have been provided for this release.
A practical approach is to start with a minimal amount and assess how the extrait behaves specifically on your skin. Information about other concentrations of Cimabue Perfume is also unavailable.
The Perfumer and the Fragrance's Place in the Brand's Style
The composition was created by Dawn Spencer Hurwitz, the perfumer behind Cimabue Perfume's distinctive artistic expression.
Her work here unfolds through a multilayered structure: fresh citrus notes gradually give way to flowers and spices, then transition into a rich resinous-woody base.
In terms of mood, Cimabue Perfume may appeal to those who enjoy dramatic spicy-floral fragrances with a vintage temperament.
For further exploration, Yves Saint Laurent Opium may be worth considering; however, Cimabue Perfume retains its own identity through the combination of a citrus opening, waxy florals, saffron, and a balsamic base.
