Modern Italian perfume art
New Notes is a modern perfume house from Italy that interprets fragrance with a contemporary idiom, where molecular ingredients and classic raw materials meet in an elegant balance. The result is compositions that feel pure and refined - focusing on emotion, texture and presence on the skin
SUMMARY
- A modern Italian perfume house blending craftsmanship and molecular innovation.
- Minimalistic but emotional fragrances designed for subtle presence and depth.
- Textures and purity meet avant-garde structure in skin-close compositions.
New Notes is a forward-thinking fragrance house founded in Milan by perfumer Cristian Calabrò, active in the industry since the early 2000s. After years of working with established brands, he launched New Notes as an independent project — a creative lab where future-facing perfume could evolve without compromise. His vision was clear from the start: to unite Italian craftsmanship and refined style with modern molecular accents and a clean, structured composition method.
The result is a contemporary, tactile and emotional fragrance universe — scents that feel like sensations on skin, rather than traditional perfumes projected outward. New Notes prioritises intimacy, nuance and emotional depth — fragrances that follow you, rather than precede you into a room.
Fragrance Philosophy – Minimalism with Character
New Notes is built around an aesthetic of clarity, texture and balance.
Rather than aiming for force or loud projection, each formula seeks subtle power and slow-building depth — perfumes that develop close to the skin, almost with a tactile quality.
Instead of heavy orchestration, the house works with precise, transparent lines and carefully selected notes: clean woods, soft musks, elegant florals and gourmand facets crafted with scientific finesse.
The result blends Japanese purity, Italian sensuality and modern European avant-garde.
Perfume for those who value elegance without excess — refined, intentional and full of nuance.
The Fragrances
The collection explores emotion and materiality through modern storytelling.
Talco Extrait wraps the skin in powdery comfort and soft musks, like a silk veil. Osmantho Shock takes luminous osmanthus and sets it against crystal-clear woods — bright, modern and timeless.
New Leather reimagines leather in a clean, contemporary way — soft, lightly smoky and almost transparent. Latte Pistachio blends creamy pistachio and milk-smooth textures in a couture-style gourmand, elegant rather than sweet.
Musk Complexity layers airy and sensual musks with refined depth.
Bonbons La Violette offers a modern violet — floral, softly sweet and sophisticated.
Across the collection, the language is one of purity, structure and modern luxury.
Creamy, mineral, skin-like textures — composed with precision and balance.

A New Chapter in Italian Perfumery
New Notes represents a new idea of Italian perfumery: less baroque, more restrained; less heritage-bound, more forward-thinking. It is a brand defined by creative identity over convention — fragrance as a personal aura rather than a scented cloud.
For those who seek quiet strength, refined elegance and contemporary olfactory art, New Notes is a natural choice.
