Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume Numina — the character and story of the fragrance
Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume Numina is a niche unisex fragrance in perfume concentration, or extrait de parfum.
It was released in 2022 and immediately draws attention with its expressive spicy-woody character, created for those who value natural depth and a noticeable perfume presence.
The fragrance was created by Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume, a brand with a particular interest in natural materials and multilayered compositions.
Numina captures this aesthetic beautifully: citrus freshness, the green coolness of conifers, warm spices and a resinous-woody base come together in a cohesive, richly textured composition.
Notes and olfactory profile
The composition features ambrette, bergamot, black spruce, cardamom, cinnamon, cypress, frankincense, oud, tonka beans and vanilla.
The fragrance data do not provide a traditional pyramid divided into top, heart and base notes, so it is more accurate to experience the perfume as a carefully considered combination of accords that unfold gradually and enhance one another.
Numina opens fresh and slightly cool, thanks to bergamot, ambrette and the coniferous nuances of black spruce and cypress.
A spicy heart then emerges with cardamom and cinnamon, while frankincense adds dry smokiness and a meditative mood.
In the drydown, oud is particularly expressive, softened by tonka beans and vanilla.
Sillage, longevity and wearability
In terms of sillage, Teone Reinthal Natural Perfume Numina is a very powerful fragrance.
The extrait unfolds with richness and can maintain a noticeable presence around the wearer for a long time, especially in cool weather and enclosed spaces.
This is a unisex fragrance with no strict association with either a masculine or feminine wardrobe.
On some skin, the spices, conifers and oud may smell austere and noble, while on other skin, vanilla, ambrette and tonka bring out the composition’s softer, warmer side.
Numina is suited to evenings, special occasions, walks in the cooler seasons or any moment when you want to make a statement with an expressive perfume presence.
Because of its very powerful sillage, it is best to begin with a single spray on the skin and gradually assess how intensely it develops.
Precise recommendations for applying this release to skin and clothing are not provided; application to fabric should first be tested on an inconspicuous area, especially if the material is delicate.
The perfumer and the fragrance’s place within the brand’s style
The composition was created by Teone Reinthal.
Her approach is reflected in the contrast between fresh green and citrus nuances and spicy, resinous and woody depth: Numina does not aim to be universally neutral, but offers a complete olfactory experience.
No other concentrations of Numina are listed in the database, so comparing this release with Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum versions would be inaccurate.
If you would like to continue exploring rich woody-spicy compositions, Yves Rocher Nature Millenaire pour Homme may serve as one point of reference. Numina, however, retains its own more niche, naturally resinous character.
