Character and History of UER MI Ex Latex
UER MI Ex Latex is a unisex fragrance from 2025 in the form of a scented mist, created for those who see perfumery as an exploration of textures and moods.
The composition belongs to the leather fragrance family and has a very strong sillage, so it smells noticeable and expressive rather than seeking to go unnoticed.
This release comes from the niche Italian house UER MI, known for its intricate poetic approach to sensual tactility.
The UER MI brand was founded in Italy in 2014 as a philosophical perfumery project exploring the boundaries of perception.
The name itself, which can be read as “you are me,” reflects the brand’s interest in the interaction between people, skin, materials and the surrounding space.
In Ex Latex, this idea takes on a particularly tangible form: the fragrance is built around the contrast between cool minerality, a resilient latex accord and a soft suede base.
Notes and Development on the Skin
The top notes open with aldehydes, anise and juniper berries.
The opening is cool, sparkling and slightly spicy: aldehydes add a clean, airy effect, anise lends a distinctive licorice-like spicy facet, while juniper berries reinforce the feeling of freshness and transparency.
In the heart, the fragrance becomes more tactile.
Latex takes center stage and blends with jasmine and oakmoss, creating an unusual balance between floral softness, greenish depth and an almost tangible industrial nuance.
This is where Ex Latex reveals its individuality: it does not imitate a classic leather accord, but reinterprets it through mineral and tactile nuances.
The final stage of the composition rests on mineral notes, sandalwood and a suede accord.
The mineral tone preserves a cool, austere quality, sandalwood adds creamy, rounded woody warmth, while suede softens the fragrance and gives it greater flexibility.
As a result, the fragrance evolves from a fresh and unusual opening into a dry, woody-leathery and highly expressive sillage.
Who Is This Fragrance For?
Ex Latex is positioned as a unisex perfume and can sound equally natural on both women’s and men’s skin.
It is a choice for those interested in unconventional notes, mineral effects and modern interpretations of leather.
The fragrance is especially suitable for cooler weather and evening wear, as well as exhibitions, premieres or other events where you want to emphasize your individual style.
Because of its very strong sillage, the composition requires careful application.
Exact dosage recommendations for application to skin and clothing are not provided in the database, so it is best to adjust the number of sprays gradually, starting with the minimum.
On fabric, the fragrance may last longer than on skin, while its development on skin will depend more strongly on temperature and individual body chemistry.
The Perfumer-Authors and the Fragrance’s Place in the Brand’s Style
UER MI Ex Latex was created by perfumers Antoine Lie and Luca Maffei.
Their work is built around an expressive clash of materials: cool aldehydes and minerals, spicy anise, greenish oakmoss, white-floral jasmine, sandalwood and suede.
As a result, the fragrance is perceived not as a literal smell of latex, but as a multilayered perfumery image in which industrial smoothness meets natural and leathery nuances.
Those wishing to continue exploring leather fragrances with a distinctive character may want to consider Parfums Grès Paris Cabochard.
Loewe Aire and Geoffrey Beene Bowling Green are also suitable for comparison, although UER MI Ex Latex differs from them through its emphasis on a latex-mineral texture, unusual cool opening and powerful sillage.
