Kintsugi Perfumes Phénix is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Martin Švach. Phénix opens with Mandarin, Cumin, Coriander, and Pineapple, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Smoke, Saffron, and Coffee, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Leather, Patchouli, and Ambergris. Kintsugi Perfumes's Phénix carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a truly unique, smoky leather scent that's far more wearable than it sounds. It defies expectations and has quickly become a 'masterpiece' for many, despite a slight division on its seasonality.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Phénix opens with a bright, unexpected burst of mandarin and pineapple, swiftly joined by a subtle spice from cumin and coriander. This lively intro soon transitions into a sophisticated heart where smoky notes intertwine with aromatic cypriol and a hint of saffron. The fragrance deepens further into a smooth, elegant base of supple leather, earthy patchouli, and a touch of immortal flower, grounded by the salty warmth of ambergris, creating a complex and evolving journey.
