In 2015, New Brand introduced Essence Men — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A masculine fragrance belonging to the spicy, wood, and citrus families. The fragrance belongs to the spicy and wood groups. Created within the Essence collection and available in eau de toilette.
Expect a noticeable sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. It settles in and stays — the longevity is genuinely high. Behind this fragrance stands the United States and its rich perfumery heritage. Essence Men New Brand unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Essence Men is shaped as an expressive line of development, where accents shift with precision and warmth. The style of New Brand comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de toilette supports a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the notes arrive together with a airy lemon mood: Bergamot, Sichuan pepper and Woody Accord. Here 3 notes work as one integrated frame, forming a sensation of cool purity that feels seamless.
The middle and base stages are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which preserves the scent identity through drydown.
The olfactory framework is shaped by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus and Wood forming a compact and readable structure. The gender direction is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. In longevity terms High indicates a stable lasting impression.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Spicy, Wood and Citrus.
Taken together Essence Men sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
