New Notes Contemporary Blend – Italian extraits at the crossroads of nature and hi-tech

New Notes Contemporary Blend: Italian extraits halfway between nature and high tech

The heart of the New Notes house

The Contemporary Blend Collection is the heart of New Notes, an Italian house of extraits de parfum reinventing niche perfumery through holographic compositions — gourmand, woody, floral — at the meeting point of nature and high-tech molecules. Fourteen unisex extraits that embrace an ethical and disruptive approach to auteur perfumery.

The fourteen extraits of Contemporary Blend

The Contemporary Blend Collection brings together Akigala Mandarino, Latte di Cherry, Cocktail Maracuja, Caramelo Vanilla, Queen of the Sea, Latte Mimosa, Latte Pistachio, Erotika Maximale, Erotika Minimale, Bonbons à la Violette, Talco, Osmanto Shock, New Leather and Rosa Limone — fourteen extraits spanning milky gourmands (Latte di Cherry, Latte Pistachio), daring accords (Erotika Maximale/Minimale), modern florals (Osmanto Shock, Rosa Limone) and unexpected interpretations (New Leather, Talco).

The “holographic” signature

New Notes describes its extraits as holographic — a term that evokes the multidimensional perception of a single object depending on the angle from which it is viewed. The house applies this logic to its formulas: natural materials (vanilla, oud, cherry) in dialogue with high-tech synthetic molecules, which multiply the olfactory perception according to the time of day and the setting. A disruptive Italian approach, worlds away from the traditional statuesque perfume.

Who should wear Contemporary Blend, and when?

Contemporary Blend is made for lovers of modern, experimental niche perfumery in search of unexpected unisex trails. The creations span every family — gourmand, floral, leathery, amber and citrus — and shine all year round, depending on your mood. If you enjoy Contemporary Blend, you will also love exploring Carnal Blends by Initio, Akro and Maison Crivelli — three other modern niche signatures at Soleil d'Or.
