Cinis — the smoky character of Mine Perfume Lab
Cinis Eau de Parfum by Mine Perfume Lab is a unisex fragrance from 2026 with a distinctive leather, green and woody character.
This eau de parfum is for those who value not obvious freshness, but a deep, textured scent with smoky and resinous nuances.
The Italian perfume house Mine Perfume Lab was founded in 2012 and, from its earliest days, has developed the idea of an experimental perfumery laboratory.
The brand name refers to an individual perspective on fragrance, which is why Cinis feels like an olfactory story in its own right, where natural materials meet modern graphic clarity.
The fragrance pyramid and its development
The composition of Cinis features amber, bergamot, cedar, incense, a leather accord, patchouli, rose, smoke, a woody accord and musk.
The top, heart and base notes are not listed separately, so the fragrance is best viewed as a cohesive composition whose balance of fresh, resinous, leathery and woody nuances gradually shifts.
Getting acquainted with Cinis begins with a contrast: the citrus spark of bergamot meets a dry smoky accord and austere woods.
As it develops, the scent becomes darker and denser, while incense, patchouli and a leathery nuance lend the composition resinous depth and a subtly mystical mood.
The rose does not lead the fragrance toward traditional floral softness; instead, it creates a delicate contrast with leather, smoke and woods.
In the drydown, amber, musk and warm woody nuances gradually emerge, creating a dimensional trail with notable longevity and a strong presence.
Who Cinis is for and when to wear it
Cinis is positioned as a unisex fragrance, so its character is not tied to traditional ideas of women's or men's perfumery.
On the skin, it will be especially appealing to those who enjoy leather and woody compositions, unconventional resinous accords and fragrances with a strong sense of individuality.
Cinis has a very powerful sillage: the fragrance is noticeable in the air and can retain its recognizable trail for a long time.
Because of its rich profile, it develops best in cool weather, in the evening, on a walk, at a meeting or at a cultural event where its dense smoky-woody texture feels appropriate and has time to unfold gradually.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided in the available information.
Given the stated strength of its sillage, it is sensible to adjust the dosage gradually, starting with a small amount and observing how the fragrance behaves specifically on your skin and fabric.
The fragrance among the brand's releases
No separate collection is specified for Cinis, nor are any other concentrations of the same fragrance listed.
At the same time, the release clearly reflects the experimental side of the Italian brand: there is no pursuit of universal transparency, but rather a carefully constructed dialogue between citrus, leather, incense, smoke and woody materials.
In terms of mood, Cinis may appeal to fans of Etat Libre d`Orange Rien Intense Incense, as well as those drawn to Bill Blass Mr Blass and Naomi Goodsir Corpus Equus.
However, Cinis retains its own identity through the combination of a green opening, dry woods, a leather accord and a dense smoky trail.
The perfumer behind this release is not specified.
Nevertheless, the composition comes across as a thoughtfully crafted niche perfume with a strong visual image: it evokes tree bark, smoldering resins, cool air and dark leather, leaving plenty of room for personal interpretation.
