Volatility of notes: why the fragrance changes on the skin
You spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning, but by evening your skin smells like a different ...
City, Moscow Osmogenes, that first saw the light of day in 2021, sits firmly in the category of a unisex fragrance, falling within the leather, wood, and mineral families. The talent of Olga Gosina is written all over this bottle. The fragrance belongs to the leather, wood, and fairy groups. The palette of this fragrance is exceptionally rich: traces of mineral and balsamic can also be found — a rare combination that makes this perfume truly one of a kind. In eau de parfum — and that's all it takes to fall in love.
Expect a delicate sillage: a quiet, intimate presence. Apply 1-2 sprays whether on skin or fabric — it works equally well either way. The longevity of this fragrance is moderate — exactly what most occasions call for. Russia is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. City, Moscow Osmogenes unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression

The note pyramid of City, Moscow is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The creative approach of Osmogenes comes through in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum keeps the depth and body this composition needs.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Abstract, Floral, Wood and Powdery with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Leather and Mineral enrich the profile without taking over. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence Middle indicates a stable lasting impression.
Right at the start you sense salty-airy first notes: Asphalt, Leather accord, Ozone and Violet leaf.
At the core of development you detect Carrot Seeds, Concrete, Motor Oil and Rose carrying a soft abstract direction.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Balsamic, Fairy, Leather and Mineral. The palette also extends to Wood, Green, Spicy and Floral.
