Sphinx Fragrances launched Damascena in 2022 — and it was a brilliant move. A unisex fragrance belonging to the green, fruit, and floral families. Available as perfume extract.
Brand country — the United States, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
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 fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
The most concentrated form of perfume with a deep, multifaceted composition, exceptional durability, and an expressive 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 scent of Damascena unfolds as a continuous scent journey, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Sphinx Fragrances is evident in the way notes appear and fade. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Perfume extract sets the depth and body this composition needs.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Floral and Wood. It also reaches into Fruit, Animals, Musk and Whiteflower. At family level the scent maps to Floral, Fruit and Green.
From the first breath you catch invigorating sunny opening notes: Bergamot, Green Chord, Mandarin and Rose.
At the core of development you detect Patchouli, Pear, Rose and Violet holding a velvety rose-iris direction.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc without random overlap. Additional accords such as Wood and Amber expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
In summary Damascena reads as a cohesive composition — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
