In 2020, RUIK introduced HOOP — a fragrance that's hard to forget. A unisex fragrance belonging to the aromatic family. Created by the skilled hands of Boye Dorenbos and Noëlle Dorenbos. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Country of origin — the Netherlands. HOOP RUIK unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 note pyramid of HOOP evolves as a layered story, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The signature of RUIK is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum emphasizes the right density and pace of development.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Wood with each one in a clear role. The stylistic positioning is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a gourmand enveloping mood: Coffee, Orange, Rose and Spruce. In this case 4 notes work as one integrated frame, forming enveloping sweet softness that reads as cohesive from the start.
The heart and base are read as a smooth transition from opening to trail, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Gourmet, Citrus, Floral and Wood. It also reaches into Aromatic. Within olfactory families the fragrance belongs to Aromatic.
Taken together HOOP reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
