Gnezdovje Parfumerie No.28 Biarritz is a unisex fragrance in eau de parfum or extrait concentration, released in 2023.
The composition belongs to the marine and woody fragrance families, combining the sensation of salty air with the green freshness of a fig tree and the soft depth of woody nuances.
The fragrance was created for those who appreciate expressive, unconventional and noticeable compositions.
The release reflects the character of Gnezdovje Parfumerie, a Russian brand focused on high-concentration unisex fragrances.
For the brand, No.28 Biarritz is an example of a perfumery approach in which natural associations unfold richly and in layers, without being firmly tied to either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
At the opening, No.28 Biarritz smells cool, salty and energetic: a marine accord, sage and salt create the effect of a fresh breeze by the coast.
In the heart, the composition becomes greener and more textured through fig and fig leaf, while sandalwood adds a creamy woody softness.
Gradually, the fragrance develops a warm, enveloping character, with amber, cedar and musk forming an expressive base.
The composition’s distinctive mood comes from the contrast between humid marine freshness and a warm woody foundation.
There is no sense of simple aquatic lightness here: the fragrance develops with greater density, depth and presence, while retaining the green nuance of fig leaf.
Thanks to this structure, No.28 Biarritz may appeal to both women and men who enjoy unusual marine fragrances with character and lasting performance.
According to its positioning, No.28 Biarritz has very strong sillage, so it will be noticeable in the air and can remain on skin and clothing for a long time.
The extrait concentration enhances its richness and makes the composition especially suitable for those who prefer more than a quiet background scent—a full-fledged perfume presence.
The exact recommended amount to apply to skin and clothing is not specified in the available information.
Given its intense sillage, it is sensible to begin with a minimal amount and assess how the fragrance develops on your own skin.
For the office or a small room, a particularly delicate application is best, while outdoors the composition can unfold more freely.
The composition was created by Agata Doronicheva. Her work on No.28 Biarritz is built around an expressive combination of marine, green, mineral, amber, musky and woody nuances.
The result is a fragrance with a clear natural image: cool air, salty skin, fig leaves and sun-warmed wood.
No.28 Biarritz is well suited to walks, travel, creative environments and occasions when you want to emphasize your individuality.
In warm weather, the marine and green facets of the composition are especially striking, while in cooler conditions amber, cedar, sandalwood and musk come to the fore.
Its unisex character allows the fragrance to unfold differently on different wearers, so the final impression will depend on the temperature, your skin and the amount applied.
This perfume is worth considering if you are looking not for ordinary freshness, but for a rich marine fragrance with a woody progression.
It may be an appealing choice for lovers of fig, salty accords and strong sillage, as well as for those who enjoy compositions that noticeably shift in mood from a cool opening to a warm base.
As a direction for further exploration, you may wish to consider Franck Boclet Angie.
It is not an identical substitute, but rather a point of reference for comparison and for finding a fragrance with a similarly expressive mood. Other concentrations of No.28 Biarritz are not specified in the available data.

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 top notes of No.28 Biarritz unfold with a marine accord, sage, and salt, creating a cool, fresh, and subtly mineral impression.
Fig, fig leaf, and sandalwood emerge at the heart, as a fruity-green nuance gradually blends with a soft woody texture.
The base is composed of amber, cedar, and musk, lending the composition greater warmth, depth, and a more pronounced sillage.
In its full expression, the fragrance combines marine, green, fruity, aromatic, mineral, ambery, musky, and woody nuances.
The pyramid's main contrast lies between the salty freshness of the opening and the dense woody-ambery finish.
