Ybry Rubis — an expressive fragrance with a Dutch character
Ybry Rubis is a unisex fragrance released in 2025 in extrait de parfum concentration.
The composition belongs to the floral and woody families, combining a juicy fruity facet, transparent florals and a deep, slightly dry base.
This is a fragrance for those who appreciate a noticeable presence, contrasting transitions and an expressive trail.
The fragrance was created by Ybry, a Dutch perfume house with a history dating back to 1925.
The brand’s character combines elegance, passion and distinctive European restraint, while Rubis reveals this aesthetic in a richer and more sensual way.
The fragrance feels like a modern interpretation of a precious gemstone: bright at the opening, floral at the heart and confident in the finish.
The pyramid and development of the composition
Ybry Rubis opens with juicy cherry, sparkling orange and airy freesia.
The opening is simultaneously fruity, fresh and slightly playful: cherry adds velvety sweetness, citrus brings energy, and freesia softens the accord with a clean floral note.
As it develops, the composition grows deeper. At the heart, rose and violet create an elegant floral duo, while Peruvian balsam adds a warm, resinous hue.
As a result, the fragrance gradually moves away from its immediate fruity brightness toward a rounder, more sensual and refined character.
The base is built around heliotrope, patchouli and vetiver. Heliotrope lends softness and a powdery nuance to the finish, patchouli provides earthy depth, and vetiver forms a dry woody outline.
As a result, Rubis leaves a dense, multilayered and highly noticeable trail on the skin.
Character, sillage and wearability
In terms of mood, this is a versatile fragrance that is not tied to a single gendered image.
It smells equally compelling on women and men, especially when the goal is to emphasize individuality, confidence and a love of rich compositions.
Its very strong sillage makes Ybry Rubis a suitable choice for evenings, special occasions, cool weather and situations where a fragrance needs to make an impression.
The composition is at its most striking in the cool autumn and winter air and during the transitional seasons, when its fruity, balsamic and woody nuances sound especially full-bodied.
For the office or a small space, moderation is advisable, while outdoors or in the evening, the extrait’s dense character can express itself to the fullest.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not available, so it is best to determine the ideal dosage gradually, starting with a minimal application.
No information about other concentrations of Ybry Rubis is available either.
Therefore, this release should be understood specifically as a rich perfume extract — denser, more expressive and designed for a long-lasting presence than lighter formats.
The perfumer and Ybry’s stylistic identity
The composition was created by Bruno Jovanovic, a perfumer who knows how to combine a striking opening accord with carefully constructed depth.
In Rubis, his signature emerges through the contrast between juicy cherry, floral softness and a dry woody-balsamic base.
Thanks to this, the fragrance goes beyond a simple fruity impression and gradually becomes more complex.
Ybry Rubis significantly broadens the perception of the brand: it is not an ethereal floral composition, but a confident, memorable and luxuriously resonant extrait.
If you are drawn to rich unisex fragrances with a fruity opening, resinous heart and woody finish, Rubis could become an expressive part of your personal collection.
