Filippova Botanical Perfumery Glaze — a women’s fragrance released in 2022.
The Belarusian brand is known for its focus on natural imagery and expressive compositions, and this release reveals its bolder, more contrasting side: a fresh citrus opening gradually gives way to a green-floral heart and a deep woody-mossy base.
The fragrance was created by Ksenia Filippova, the brand’s owner and perfumer.
In parfum, or extrait, concentration, it smells rich and focused, making it especially appealing to those who appreciate noticeable compositions with character.
Despite its feminine positioning, the combination of lavender, moss, oak and oud gives Glaze a versatile, almost androgynous edge.
The fragrance’s impression is built around the interplay of freshness and density.
It opens with sparkling citrus notes, then becomes cooler and greener before unfolding in the drydown with warm woody nuances, mossy depth and a soft resinous shadow.
Its very strong sillage makes the perfume noticeable in any space, so it is well suited to occasions when you want to make an impression — evening outings, special encounters, cool weather and time spent outdoors.
In terms of mood, Glaze sits at the intersection of the fougère and woody fragrance families.
This is neither a carefree citrus scent nor a classic sweet floral perfume, but a more restrained, textured composition with a natural character.
It may unfold particularly beautifully in autumn, spring and on cool summer evenings, when woody and mossy accords sound more dimensional.
The exact amount recommended for application to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
Given its extrait concentration and very strong sillage, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and then assess its development on your own skin: the perfume’s longevity and intensity may vary noticeably depending on temperature, humidity and fabric.
If you would like to compare Glaze with other fragrances in terms of overall richness and its woody-aromatic character, you might consider Chanel Allure Homme.
Antonio Banderas The Icon and Alfred Dunhill Icon are also worth considering as alternatives with a similar mood, although Glaze stands out with its mossier, greener and more niche-style presentation.
