The art of perfume marketing: how fragrance is sold

Fantôme Ruslan Extrait de Parfum is a niche unisex fragrance released in 2020.
It is part of the Slavic Fairy Tale collection, where the perfume compositions draw on images from Slavic legends, the mystique of the forest, and the atmosphere of ancient tales.
Ruslan was created by Bree Elliott.
For Fantôme, a young American house founded in 2017, this release conveys its signature love of myths, folklore, and emotional narratives with particular precision.
Here, the fragrance is perceived not simply as a collection of notes, but as a richly dimensional forest landscape with dark trees, cool air, and smoky, resinous nuances.
As an extrait, or perfume extract, it has a high concentration, unfolding with intensity and leaving a very powerful trail.
Ruslan Extrait de Parfum is not tied to a single gender: it will appeal to women and men who appreciate deep woody and balsamic fragrances with character.
Olfactively, the fragrance combines woody and balsamic facets with nuances of beverages and earthy, mossy undertones.
Its character features a stern coniferous coolness, dry woods, a church-like resinous haze, and dark depth, giving Ruslan a composed, mysterious, and cinematic presence.
Because of its high concentration and pronounced sillage, the fragrance is best applied sparingly.
The manufacturer does not provide precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin or clothing, so it is best to start with a minimal application and assess the intensity on your own skin.
This is a fragrance for cool weather, evening outings, and moments when you want to emphasize your individuality.
It is especially at home in autumn and winter, in intimate settings, on walks among coniferous trees, or in softly lit spaces.
The composition can also be intriguing in summer, but its intensity in hot weather calls for even more careful application.
Ruslan will appeal to those looking not for universal “everyday freshness,” but for a distinctive perfume signature.
For further exploration, consider L'Artisan Parfumeur La Cérémonie de l'Encens, as well as Puredistance Papilio and Natura Essencial Oud Vanilla Feminino—fragrances that may interest fans of expressive resinous, woody, and dark accords.
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
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive 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 pyramid of Ruslan Extrait de Parfum features a blended composition without distinct top, heart, or base notes.
At the heart of the fragrance are black spruce, fir, cedar, and hinoki, creating a dense coniferous-woody accord.
Black tea adds a dry, slightly astringent nuance, while incense and opopanax create a warm balsamic haze.
Oakmoss intensifies the earthy, mossy character, while oud lends the fragrance dark depth and richness.
As a result, the fragrance unfolds as a cohesive forest accord: cool, resinous, woody, and slightly mysterious.
The main note groups are balsamic, woody, beverages, and earthy-mossy.
