Olfactive Studio Selfie is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Thomas Fontaine. Selfie opens with Angelica, Ginger, Star Anise, and Incense, settles into a heart of Maple, Lily, Cinnamon, and Cabreuva, and dries down to a base of Suede, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Oakmoss. Olfactive Studio's Selfie carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Selfie is a weird one, a real love-it-or-hate-it affair that’s more about introspection than Instagram. It’s got a loyal fanbase for its unique, almost baffling character, but don't expect a crowd-pleaser.

Scent Profile

Composition

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Also Works:
Date Casual

Its moderate longevity and distinct, somewhat unusual character make it less ideal for a formal office setting. However, its warmth and mystery lend themselves well to cooler-weather casual wear or a more intimate date night, especially given its resinous depth which many find captivating.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

This one opens with an unusual herbal, spicy kick from angelica, ginger, and star anise, laced with a smoky, resinous incense. As it develops, a peculiar sticky sweetness emerges, driven by maple and cinnamon, which is then grounded by a rich, almost boozy suede. The dry down settles into a dark, earthy, yet soft blend of patchouli, oakmoss, and tonka, maintaining its distinctive, slightly medicinal edge throughout.
