Subliminal Melody — a woody-floral composition by House of Artem
House of Artem Subliminal Melody is a unisex fragrance from the UAE, released in 2024.
It is an eau de parfum with a distinctive woody-floral character, in which a fresh citrus opening gradually gives way to deep oud, delicate rose and soft sandalwood.
For the House of Artem brand, the fragrance feels modern and rich: the composition combines the brightness of a citrus accord with the oriental depth of woody notes.
Subliminal Melody will appeal to those who enjoy noticeable fragrances with a rich trail and a contrast between freshness and resinous warmth.
The fragrance’s character and development
At first, Subliminal Melody feels fresh and energetic thanks to its citrus accord.
It quickly creates a sense of radiance and emphasizes the composition’s dynamic character, preventing the dense woody nuances from appearing too abruptly.
At the heart, oud unfolds alongside rose.
Their duet is built on a beautiful contrast: oud adds depth, darkness and oriental expressiveness, while rose softens the composition with floral velvety notes.
As the fragrance develops, it becomes rounder, richer and more cohesive.
Oud and rose can be sensed again in the base, joined by sandalwood. The woody accord makes the finish warm and long-lasting, while the floral facet preserves its elegance.
As a result, Subliminal Melody leaves a dense, highly noticeable impression without feeling simply monotonous.
Sillage, seasonality and dosage
Subliminal Melody is described as having very strong sillage, so it is especially suitable for occasions where its intensity will be perceived harmoniously: evening events, formal gatherings, walks in cool weather and spacious indoor settings.
For the office or a small enclosed space, it is best to start with a minimal number of sprays and assess how it develops on the skin.
Specific dosage recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
A practical approach is to apply a small amount to the pulse points and, if desired, add one light spray to clothing after checking the fabric’s reaction beforehand.
Thanks to the composition’s high expressiveness, Subliminal Melody does not require generous application.
Who will enjoy Subliminal Melody
This fragrance will suit both women and men who choose rich woody-floral compositions with an oriental mood.
It may appeal to fans of oud, rose and warm woody accords, as well as those looking not for a neutral everyday perfume but for a distinctive fragrance with a strong presence.
As a direction for further exploration, consider Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Aswad.
Nabeel Acqua di Nabeel Absolute and Abdul Samad Al Qurashi Al'Molouk Blend also share a similar oriental fragrance mood.
At the same time, Subliminal Melody retains its own signature through the combination of citrus freshness, rose, oud and sandalwood.
Information about the perfumer, collection and other concentrations of Subliminal Melody is not provided in the database.
Therefore, the main factors to consider when choosing it are the note pyramid, its unisex positioning, eau de parfum concentration and very strong sillage.
