Mykonos
Indonesian fragrance house known for bold gourmand concepts and expanding citrus, aquatic, and fruity collections.
About Mykonos
Mykonos is an Indonesian fragrance brand founded by Koyal Shankar Harjani. Sources differ on the precise founding year, identifying either 2019 or 2020, while independent fragrance databases list the house as based in Indonesia since 2019. The brand is not Greek despite its name, which is associated with the Greek island of Mykonos.
The house is particularly associated with gourmand perfumes built around edible themes, including sweet food and beverage concepts. Its portfolio has expanded substantially: Parfumo lists 86 Mykonos perfumes, while Fragrantica's indexed profile describes the brand as having 74 perfumes, with those entries launched in 2025. The official website also presents a summer collection focused on citrus, aquatic, and fruity notes. Available reporting identifies PT Multi Wangi Alami as the owner, but this ownership detail is not confirmed by the official website or the major fragrance databases reviewed.

Strengths & Weaknesses
Strengths

Weaknesses
- Limited authoritative public information about ownership and brand history
- Large catalogue may produce uneven consistency
- Gourmand emphasis can become too sweet for fresh or minimalist fragrance preferences
Brand Evolution
The brand began as an Indonesian local fragrance house and developed a broad portfolio around gourmand concepts. Its current range also includes summer-oriented citrus, aquatic, and fruity fragrances, indicating movement beyond strictly sweet compositions. Public sources disagree on whether the founding date was 2019 or 2020.
Quick Verdict
Mykonos is a useful choice for sweet, concept-driven fragrances rather than restrained traditional perfumery. Its main weakness is inconsistent public documentation and a catalogue large enough that quality and style may vary between releases.
