unisex
Playground conjures the bracing nothing of cold air: crisp, clean, marine. A transparent but present blend of bergamot, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley, lightly fluffed with cashmere wood and musk. Honeydew melon lends its cool sweet flesh to this oceanic fantasy.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Playground suits close, easy company in bright daylight, when the air still feels cool and the mood is open rather than formal. It reads like a scent for unguarded conversation and movement, with a clean marine brightness that feels relaxed but present.
How to wear
Best worn in spring and summer, especially in mild to warm weather where its melon, citrus and marine facets can stay crisp. Apply lightly to keep the airy florals and musky woods transparent; a few sprays are enough for a soft, refreshing trail that sits close to the skin but lifts in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like fresh marine scents with a modern fruity twist, especially if they prefer clean transparency over sharp aquatic austerity. It will appeal to those drawn to airy florals, soft musks and fragrances that feel optimistic, youthful and easy to live with.

The nose
Anselm Skogstad is the founder and perfumer behind Der Duft, a house that treats fragrance as a personal, art-driven narrative rather than a conventional product line. His style for Playground is minimalist in structure but clear in effect: bright, airy, emotionally direct, and built around a memorable central accord. Playground fits his broader approach to composition, where clean lines and restrained materials are used to create a vivid mood rather than a heavy statement. Here he balances marine freshness, melon, and white florals with a soft musky base, giving the scent its easy, luminous character.
Collaborators
Anselm Skogstad shaped the fragrance as both founder and creative director of Der Duft, and also composed it himself, guiding the concept from the brand’s idea of a worry-free “playground” into the final scent structure.
Der Duft’s story
Der Duft approaches perfumery as a form of emotional storytelling, with each scent conceived as a narrative meant to evoke memory and connection. The house favors conceptual clarity, personal expression and a clean, modern aesthetic, often pairing minimal-looking compositions with a strong idea at their core.
Playground’s concept
Playground was created around the image of a mental space free from pressure: a place to play, reset and feel unburdened. Der Duft frames it as fresh, adventurous, joyous and clean, with honeydew melon, marine notes and airy florals translating that sense of lightness into scent.
Extra info
Playground is a 2025 Der Duft release and one of the few fragrances in the house personally composed by Anselm Skogstad. Its name and concept center on a “playground” as a mental state rather than a literal place, and the official positioning emphasizes unisex wear and freedom from pressure.
