In 2017, Karen Doue introduced My Secret — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A feminine fragrance belonging to the east and floral families. This fragrance is the personal signature of perfumer Anna Shevchuk.
Behind this fragrance stands Ukraine and its rich perfumery heritage. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate 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 olfactory structure of My Secret evolves as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Karen Doue comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Spicy and Wood. The framework further includes Gourmet, Ambery, Balsamic and Leather. At family level the scent maps to East and Floral.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect radiant lemon-bergamot opening notes: Bergamot, Floral Notes, Orange and Yuzu.
In the middle phase you sense Cinnamon, Oud, Spices, Tonka bean and Vanilla carrying a cinnamon-nutmeg direction.
The accord profile is driven by these accords: Balsamic, Citrus, Gourmet and Floral forming a compact and readable structure. Additional accords such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In summary My Secret reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the scent structures best experienced through real development.
