Chilino — an oriental fougère character
Chilino by Trend Perfumes is a unisex eau de parfum released in 2024.
The composition is part of the House of Medici Collection, combining a fougère structure with oriental expressiveness.
This perfume is for those who enjoy distinctive fragrances with character, a cool citrus opening, and a rich woody-balsamic drydown.
The release reflects the direction of Trend Perfumes, a young brand founded in 2018 in the United Arab Emirates.
Chilino demonstrates how modern Middle Eastern perfumery can sound dynamic and versatile, combining freshness, green notes, dry woody nuances, and warm depth.
Thanks to its gender-neutral positioning, the fragrance develops naturally on the skin and is not tied to a particular style or age group.
The fragrance pyramid and development
Chilino’s top notes open with an energetic combination of bergamot, lemon, and pink pepper, also known as red berries.
The citrus accord sounds bright and transparent, while the spicy nuance adds liveliness and a subtle sparkle to the opening.
Blackcurrant leaf, cedar, and patchouli appear at the heart of the composition: the green astringency gradually becomes drier, deeper, and more refined.
The base is built around grey amber, labdanum, tonka bean, and vetiver. Here, the fresh line gives way to warm, resinous, and woody tones, while tonka softens the composition with delicate sweetness.
As a result, Chilino leaves a dense, expressive impression while maintaining a balance between freshness and oriental richness.
Longevity, sillage, and wearability
According to the stated characteristics, the fragrance has very strong sillage, making Chilino suitable for those who prefer a noticeable presence and a clearly perceptible scent trail.
The eau de parfum is especially appropriate for evenings, meetings, formal occasions, and cooler weather, when the woody-balsamic notes unfold most fully.
In warm weather, the composition should be tested more carefully to assess how it smells specifically on your skin.
Exact recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided, so it is best to determine the optimal dosage gradually: start with a small amount and assess the intensity after a few minutes.
Information about other concentrations of Chilino is also unavailable. This is worth considering if you are choosing between different versions of the same fragrance and expect variations in longevity or intensity.
The perfumer and similar fragrances
The composition was created by Shadi Samra. In Chilino, his signature style is expressed through the contrast of fresh citrus, a green accord, dry woody notes, and a rich base.
If you like the idea of a modern fougère fragrance with pronounced sillage, you can compare it with Roja Parfums Elysium Parfum Cologne, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Creed Himalaya.
They can help you reassess how well citrus freshness, woody dryness, and an expressive oriental base suit you.
