Richard Hudnut launched Stephanotis in 1895 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance belonging to the floral family.
Produced in the United States, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Stephanotis Richard Hudnut — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
Some fragrances simply live on the skin — this one becomes part of it. The official website of Richard Hudnut — https://phlur.com.
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
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 olfactory structure of Stephanotis is built as a continuous scent journey, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The style of Richard Hudnut is clear in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
At the note-group layer the composition is built around Floral and Whiteflower. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to Floral.
When the pyramid is blended into one block the fragrance opens as a single chord with a multi-layered petal mood: Stephanotis. In this format 1 note sounds as one voice, creating romantic softness that feels seamless.
The inner phases are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Floral without random overlap. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
Taken together Stephanotis reads as a cohesive composition — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best experienced through real development.
