The house of Rimmel gifted the world with Onyka in 1930. A feminine fragrance rooted in the floral family. Released in perfume extract.
Produced in the United Kingdom, where perfumery has long been elevated to an art form. Onyka Rimmel — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
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
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive 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 composition of Onyka is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Rimmel comes through in the way notes appear and fade. No excess details, only what works, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Perfume extract sets the right density and pace of development.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Floral and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral.
Without strict stage separation the fragrance opens as a single chord with a voluminous floral mood: Floral Notes. In this format 1 note works as one integrated frame, building the effect of a living bouquet that feels seamless.
The heart and base are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which gives the structure continuity.
The accord architecture is built around these accords: Floral forming a compact and readable structure. The profile is feminine, which clarifies the composition character.
Overall Onyka sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. This is the type of composition best experienced in wear.
