A collaboration with Miguel Matos.
Clean, abstract and intriguing. Is it the smell of the new velvet seats in a dark cinema? Or the conditioned cool air? Or the fragrant echoes of trendy perfumes floating in between the spectators?
Cinematic is put together from an overdose of clean white musk, crisp hazy cashmeran, dry savory spices and a few drops of bitter carnation essence.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Think of the moment a cinema falls quiet before the screen lights up: cool air, upholstered seats and faint traces of perfume nearby. Cinematic’s white musk and hazy cashmeran suit that restrained, close-range atmosphere, while dry spice keeps the impression alert rather than sleepy.
How to wear
Try it in mild spring or autumn weather, when the airy musk and dry spices can feel balanced rather than warmed through. Start with one or two sprays on skin and let the opening settle before adding more; a restrained application keeps the contrast between cool freshness and soft texture in focus.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to abstract musks, dry spice and soft, fabric-like textures rather than overt sweetness. Its bitter carnation edge and hazy cashmeran will appeal to wearers who enjoy a clean impression with an unfamiliar, slightly dissonant detail.

2020
The nose
Miguel Matos is a Portuguese perfumer and fragrance critic whose work often explores unusual textures, contrasts and expressive departures from conventional beauty. His experimental approach gives Cinematic its tension between familiar freshness and something harder to place: a spicy, floral abstraction over a comforting base.
Der Duft’s story
DER DUFT gives collaborating perfumers creative freedom and leaves wearers room to form their own associations. Founded by Anselm Skogstad, the house favors distinctive compositions over trend-led formulas and elaborate fictional backstories, seeking an emotional connection without expecting every scent to please everyone.
Cinematic’s concept
Cinematic explores the relationship between past and present, combining retro and modern impressions rather than translating a particular film into perfume. Matos conceived an airy, dynamic composition in which fresh, spicy and floral elements move over a comforting base, leaving the narrative deliberately abstract.
Extra info
Miguel Matos also composed Pride for DER DUFT. Cinematic’s official notes are presented as a single list rather than a conventional top, heart and base pyramid.
