A brand that’s unique in many ways, Pure Sense offers perfumes created by visually impaired perfumers (with 15% from each purchase going to various charities). In every bottle, you will find not mere scents, but combinations designed to embody whole experiences, inspiring you to reconnect with your thoughts and feelings – hence their names: Serenity, Inlove, Confidence, Inspiration, and more.

Voronoi

This Moscow-based brand prides itself on pure, nature-inspired perfumes in bottles that look as if they could have come straight from a kind witch’s cupboard. The brand’s philosophy is all about careful preservation of memories, which is what inspires every composition you’ll find on offer. Sea breeze, earth, vanilla, leather… Your perfect grounding fragrance is definitely hiding somewhere among the metallic bottles – and it will make for a memorable gift to anyone who will appreciate both the perfume and the aesthetic.

Woodmoss

Continuing on the magical, witchcraft-inspired note, Woodmoss brings a darker aesthetic with their laconic square bottles and exclusively wood-based perfumes. Each fragrance is an improvisation that diverts from the perfumery canon, resulting in a unique composition that will unfold differently on anyone. Another of their selling points is that you can choose between 2 ml, 10 ml, 30 ml, or 50 ml bottles, as well as get a whole sample set (making for a perfect gift!) to try every fragrance and pick your favorite.

Predubezhdai 

This one’s a blogger brand that had a very active PR campaign during its launch and gained a great number of admirers. At their core, the fragrances are meant to revive Russian childhood memories, with names that call back to Soviet classics from the silver screen, popular bands, and activities (like going to the theater). Apart from perfume, the brand offers candles and skincare products, so you could even make someone a self-care kit as a holiday gift. You can try each of the brand’s perfumes at their neon-lit showroom.

Flame Moscow

At Flame, you can get anything from body scents and moisturizers to candles and car fragrances. The brand is quite popular online and something of a modern household staple for many. As all the products use natural ingredients, each of them is multifunctional and can be applied to create either your unique scent or a special atmosphere in your home.
