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

The historic heart of the maison

The Contemporary Blend Collection is the historic heart of New Notes. Fourteen unisex extraits where natural materials and hi-tech molecules compose the signature "holographic" trails of the maison. A line that completely encompasses the Italian Turin maison's creative approach: niche perfumery freed from the opposition between natural and synthetic, in compositions that play on this very tension.

The fourteen creations of Contemporary Blend

The Contemporary Blend Collection brings together Latte Di Cherry, Musk Complexity, Cocktail Maracuja, Woods Symphony, Amber Quartz, Rose Cardio, Vetiver Mood, Oud Fascination, Vanilla Twist and Citrus Electric — a selection of the most iconic compositions among the fourteen of the collection.

The "holographic" concept as compositional method

The Contemporary Blend Collection cultivates an unprecedented approach: the perfume as olfactive hologram. Where the great heritage tradition opposes natural to synthetic (Goutal cultivates the natural, Mugler cultivates the synthetic), New Notes inscribes itself in a third way — the holographic dialogue between the two registers. Each composition holds in tension a natural raw material and a hi-tech molecule, in such a way that the perfume changes facet according to the moment, the temperature, the wearer. An unprecedented olfactive proposition in contemporary niche.

Who is Contemporary Blend for, and when to wear it?

Contemporary Blend speaks to lovers of contemporary niche perfumery, who appreciate experimental compositions and unprecedented writings. Creations cover all the families — gourmand, woody, musky, ambery and fruity — and shine year-round depending on creation. If you enjoy Contemporary Blend, you will also want to explore Initio Carnal Blends, the La Closerie des Parfums and Akro — three other contemporary experimental signatures at Soleil d'Or.
