Der Duft - Monopteros – Parfum

Der Duft MONOPTEROS Eau de Parfum

A Tribute to Munich’s Iconic Monopteros

MONOPTEROS by Der Duft is an olfactory creation that balances luxurious creaminess with a delicate, almost ethereal texture. Inspired by the round temple in Munich’s English Garden, this fragrance captures the serene yet vibrant atmosphere of this magical place. Standing atop the Monopteros, with its sweeping views over the city’s skyline and lush meadows, evokes the essence of this perfume – a dialogue between nature and urban sophistication, between timelessness and modernity.

The Composition – A Dance of Softness and Spice

The notes of MONOPTEROS blend freshness, subtle sweetness, and spicy depth into a unique composition. Creamy coconut opens the fragrance, intertwined with airy aldehydes and the aromatic warmth of coffee. Neroli and raspberry add fruity and floral brightness, while cucumber introduces a cool, green facet. At its heart, rose unfurls with timeless elegance, enriched by nutmeg, black pepper, and cardamom. This interplay of creamy textures and spicy accents creates a fragrance that is both gentle and powerful, sophisticated yet inviting.

The Story of Der Duft

Founded in 2020 by Munich-based artist and photojournalist Anselm Skogstad, Der Duft is a brand dedicated to crafting modern yet timeless fragrances. Skogstad’s passion for scents began in his youth, sparked by a fascination with the interplay of beauty, memory, and identity in perfumery. A transformative period in Hong Kong exposed him to exotic aromas and cultural nuances, further fueling his desire to create. His expertise was later refined in Grasse, where he learned to merge technical skill with artistic expression. Der Duft collaborates with perfumers from around the globe, each contributing their own style and personality to the collection.

MONOPTEROS is an homage to Munich and its landscapes, a fragrance that captures memories, dreams, and moments of serene contemplation. With its combination of creamy sweetness, floral sophistication, and spicy warmth, it is a versatile fragrance for both day-to-day wear and special occasions.
