New Notes by scent amor – Italy's bold answer to classical perfumery beyond old fragrance rules
With New Notes, scent amor expands its collection with Italian extraits that combine fruit, gourmand, spice, musk, and skin into modern olfactory art. New Notes rethinks niche perfume: bold, gender-fluid, sensual, Italian, and created for people who wear fragrance not as decoration, but as an attitude.
New Notes from Italy – when perfume doesn't want to please, but to provoke
There are fragrance brands that neatly fit into a known aesthetic. And then there's New Notes. A brand from Italy that doesn't try to politely retell classical perfumery, but deliberately unsettles it. Not loud at any cost. Not quirky for quirkiness' sake. But with a very clear idea: A fragrance can function differently today. Freer. More physical. More direct. Less confined to women, men, occasion, or old perfume rules.
That's precisely why New Notes fits so well into the world of scent amor. We don't look for fragrances that are just pretty. We look for extraordinary fragrances that have their own language, that you have to understand on the skin, not just on a test strip. New Notes is one of these brands because it perceives fragrance as a contemporary experience. As a sensory moment between skin, mood, memory, and seduction. As a niche fragrance that doesn't solidify into categories but moves.
The brand calls its idea "The Scent of Now" – and that's more than a claim. It's a pretty accurate description of what you smell: Italian sensuality, modern molecular aesthetics, gourmand impulses, bright fruits, milky textures, spicy tension, skin warmth, Ambroxan-like transparency, musk, woods, vanilla, leather, salt, blossoms, and an almost playful courage to rub opposites against each other. New Notes doesn't make perfume for people who are just looking for clean affirmation. These fragrances want to react. To you. To your skin. To your mood.
New Notes and Erik Minati – a brand with the courage for new fragrance architecture
Behind New Notes is Erik Minati, a founder who doesn't see perfume as a closed craft, but as a living art form. His intention is clear: The rules of classical perfumery are not to be destroyed, but re-examined. What happens when noble natural raw materials meet high-tech molecules? What happens when gourmand doesn't remain sweet and pleasing, but gains texture? What happens when a unisex perfume doesn't smell neutral, but sensual, vibrant, individual, and emotional?
It is precisely in this area of tension that New Notes is born. The brand works with the idea of breaking, reflecting, translating, and re-mixing traditional fragrance notes. This sounds theoretical, but smells astonishingly direct. A fragrance like LATTE DI CHERRY isn't just cherry. It's an evening feeling. A cocktail of cherry, red berries, almond, jasmine, Turkish rose, vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, amber and musk, oscillating between fruit, skin, warmth, and euphoria. CARAMELO VANILLA is not just vanilla and caramel, but an almost tactile idea of warmth, memory, and seduction. POMELO MALINDI takes citrus freshness and sea air and places a modern, bright amber structure beneath it.

So, the brand doesn't just think about fragrance in terms of ingredients. It thinks in scenes. In internal images. In moments that evolve on the skin. This is the point where a niche perfume becomes exciting: It doesn't tell everything immediately. It demands a little attention. And it rewards you when you engage with it.
The Scent of Now – why New Notes smells so contemporary
Many modern perfumes claim to be genderless, but ultimately just smell smooth. New Notes does it differently. The fragrances are not gender-fluid because they seem indecisive. They are gender-fluid because they cannot be tamed. A fragrance can be creamy, fruity, woody, animalic, salty, powdery or gourmand without immediately having to identify as a women's fragrance or men's fragrance. This is precisely what makes the brand so interesting for people who want to buy niche perfume because they are looking for their own fragrance signature.
The Extraits de Parfum from New Notes have a distinct presence. They are intense, often long-lasting, multi-sensory, and vibrant on the skin. The brand works with contrasts: natural raw materials meet modern molecules, classic notes meet unexpected accords, Italian elegance meets subversive sensuality. You often smell a play of creaminess and sharpness, sweetness and transparency, fruit and wood, nostalgia and future.
This is not perfumery that softens everything. New Notes is polished, but not smooth. Sensual, but not arbitrary. Modern, but not cold. That's why we've included the brand at scent amor. Because it adds a voice to the range that is both accessible and distinctive. A voice for fragrance lovers who want to experience gourmand anew. For people who love fruity scents but aren't looking for a flat fruit bomb. For anyone who wants to wear luxurious niche perfume that shows personality.
The Niche Fragrance Creations by New Notes as Extrait de Parfum
LATTE DI CHERRY by New Notes – Cherry with evening light, skin and euphoria
LATTE DI CHERRY is one of those fragrances that immediately show why New Notes doesn't play by the rules. The composition starts with cherry, red berries, sweet orange and almond. This sounds like a fruity gourmand at first, but the fragrance doesn't stop at this simple expectation. In the heart, jasmine, Turkish rose, ylang-ylang and warm spices open up. Beneath them are vanilla, tonka bean, vetiver, sandalwood, amber and musk.
The result is a unisex perfume that doesn't present cherry childishly or syrupy, but velvety, skin-close, and slightly intoxicating. LATTE DI CHERRY evokes an evening that's just beginning: a glass in hand, warm light, a little exuberance, a scent on the skin that approaches without explanation. For anyone who likes cherry but doesn't want a crude sweetness, this fragrance is one of the strongest introductions to New Notes.
CARAMELO VANILLA by New Notes – Gourmand without stagnation
CARAMELO VANILLA plays with vanilla, caramel, white blossoms, frangipani, cotton candy, dulce de leche, tonka bean and musk. This could quickly become too much. But it doesn't, because New Notes understands this sweetness not just as a taste, but as a texture. The fragrance feels warm, soft, enveloping, and seductive, but not one-dimensional.
This shows how modern gourmand can be today. CARAMELO VANILLA is not a dessert on the skin, but a play of memory, warmth and sensuality. The fragrance has something comforting, but also something alluring. It is ideal for those who love vanilla, but are looking for a composition that lingers longer than mere sweetness. As a niche perfume, it brings precisely the tension that a good gourmand needs: closeness, depth, recognition and a touch of audacity.
COCKTAIL MARACUJA by New Notes – drinkable zest for life as a fragrance
COCKTAIL MARACUJA is one of those fragrances where you immediately understand the idea. The inspiration comes from a moment of zest for life, fruit, drink, sun, and serendipity. Passion fruit is understood here not just as an exotic note, but as a mood. The fragrance appears juicy, bright, conceived as slightly alcoholic, full of movement, and surprisingly wearable.
It is made for people who love fruity niche fragrances but aren't looking for a synthetic candy fruit. COCKTAIL MARACUJA has that vibrant quality that instantly creates a good mood without becoming trivial. It fits warm days, nights with music, moments when a fragrance shouldn't sit still. At scent amor, we see it as one of the brand's most accessible yet characterful fragrances.
POMELO MALINDI by New Notes – Citrus, Sea and White Amber
POMELO MALINDI is one of the newest, brightest, and freshest paths into the world of New Notes. The fragrance combines pomelo, yuzu, lemon, lime and a cool ice facet with coriander, nutmeg, mint, orange blossom and jasmine. In the base, patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood, white amber and musk come together.
This smells of coast, light and salty air, but not of any arbitrary aquatic. POMELO MALINDI has structure. The citrus notes are juicy and clear, the maritime freshness feels modern, and the base gives the fragrance staying power. For anyone looking for a fresh niche fragrance that doesn't smell cleanly boring, POMELO MALINDI is a very exciting recommendation. It can be summer, but it doesn't feel seasonally limited. It has that bright elegance that also works in everyday life.
MANGOMINA D by New Notes – Mango, Sun and modern skin warmth
MANGOMINA D is a fragrance like sunlight on skin. Mango, mandarin, yuzu and marine notes form the opening, complemented by solar facets, saffron and rose. The base contains patchouli, sandalwood, cashmere wood, mossy notes, amber and musk.
What's exciting about MANGOMINA D is the balance between fruit and skin. Mango can quickly appear loud, sweet, or tropically obvious. Here, it remains radiant but integrated. The fragrance exudes good humor but no naivety. It's sunny but not flat. For fragrance lovers seeking fruity extraordinary fragrances that can do more than just "summer," MANGOMINA D is one of the most interesting candidates.
FELINA by New Notes – wild, creamy, gourmand and untamed
FELINA is perhaps one of the most sensual fragrances in the range. The top note combines coconut, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, coffee, caramel and chocolate. In the heart, juniper, olibanum, tonka bean, tobacco, caramel facets, powdery notes and woods meet. The base of sandalwood, vanilla bean, vanilla powder, amber and musk makes the fragrance soft, dark and close to the skin.
FELINA is a gourmand with claws. Creamy, but not harmless. Sweet, but not docile. Warm, but with a wild trail. This fragrance is suitable for people who are looking for a sensual signature that doesn't demand classic elegance, but presence. In the world of New Notes, FELINA is one of the compositions that particularly strongly demonstrates how the brand works with pleasure, texture and contrast.
QUEEN OF THE SEA by New Notes – Champagne, Salt and Mediterranean Elegance
QUEEN OF THE SEA is one of those fragrances where the scene almost appears before your inner eye: Saint-Tropez, light on skin, oysters, champagne, an elegant movement between sun and shade. The fragrance is maritime, but not sporty. Elegant, but not stiff. Sensual, but not heavy.
Especially for scent amor, QUEEN OF THE SEA is exciting because it carries a kind of Mediterranean luxury that doesn't smell cliché. It's a fragrance for people who like salt, skin, freshness and elegance, but aren't looking for a classic summer scent. A unisex fragrance that has style without loudly proclaiming it.
ROSA LIMONE by New Notes – Rose and Lemon as a Style Break
ROSA LIMONE particularly clearly shows the conceptual side of New Notes. Rose and lemon are not necessarily an obvious pairing in classic perfumery. This is precisely where the tension arises. Rose brings volume, sensuality and floral depth. Lemon brings brightness, friction and vibrant freshness. Together, a fragrance is created that oscillates between blossom and citrus, elegance and disruption, garden and light.
This makes ROSA LIMONE a strong fragrance for anyone who likes floral compositions but isn't looking for classic florality. It's unique, vibrant and very Italian in the best sense: expressive, cultivated, with a touch of recklessness.
Why scent amor has now included New Notes Extrait de Parfums
We didn't include New Notes because the brand is currently trending. We included it because its content fits our curation. scent amor stands for niche fragrances that have a signature. For perfumes that not only smell beautiful, but tell a story. For brands that bring their own attitude and don't just deliver the next variation of a well-known successful fragrance.
New Notes delivers exactly that. The collection is modern, sensual, daring and amazingly versatile. It appeals to people who are looking for luxurious niche perfume but not a distant luxury gesture.

Wearability was also particularly important to us. Despite all the experimentation, New Notes fragrances remain emotionally accessible. They are not intellectualized. They want to be smelled, worn, experienced. This is precisely what makes them valuable for our collection: they bring new energy to the world of niche perfumes without losing contact with the skin.

Discover New Notes at scent amor – your fragrance begins on your skin
If you want to get to know New Notes, you shouldn't just choose the fragrances by name.
