A path lined with cedars, resin glistening in the sunlight, a quiet strength drawn from the four corners of the world. Woody Family is the call of roots, of ancient forests, of a raw and refined elegance.
The top notes (lemon, mandarin, orange) energize the fragrance. Then come the floral notes—rose, carnation, geranium, lavender—which soften the heart. Finally, sandalwood, patchouli, oud, and vanilla bring this olfactory journey to a close in a warm embrace.
All Minalys perfumes are highly concentrated, made in France using natural essential oils. They are unisex and universal.

A symbol of refinement and intensity, the exceptional Minalys perfume embodies the very essence of French haute parfumerie.
Our perfume extracts are concentrated between 25 and 30% , to offer an exceptional olfactory signature that is both deep, long-lasting, and true to the emotion of its creation. This corresponds to a concentration twice as high as that of a classic perfume.
Each Minalys fragrance thus becomes a true sensory work of art, crafted with exacting standards and poetry — a perfume that is not just worn, but experienced.

Collapsible content
What does “perfume extract” mean? Is it stronger than an eau de parfum?
Yes — "perfume extract" (or simply perfume) is the most concentrated and intense form of a fragrance. It contains less alcohol, diffuses closer to the skin, and is often used as a light touch (wrists, nape of the neck, décolletage) rather than a generous spray.
What is the concentration of your perfumes?
Our fragrance creations are concentrated to 30% perfume essences, a rare intensity that places them among the most precious perfume extracts. This exceptional concentration guarantees long-lasting wear and a rich olfactory signature that evolves harmoniously over time. Far from fleeting fragrances, our perfumes settle on the skin with depth and elegance, revealing the full nobility of their raw materials. Just a few drops are enough to leave an unforgettable, subtle, and refined impression.
How long does the perfume last on the skin?
Thanks to its 30% concentration, our fragrance offers unparalleled longevity, lasting up to 12 hours, sometimes even until the next day on clothes and hair. Throughout the day, it reveals the richness of its most precious notes. An exceptional fragrance, designed to last.
Are Minalys perfumes unisex?
At Minalys, perfume knows no boundaries. Our creations are unisex, designed for those who believe that emotions have no gender. Each fragrance blends with your skin, your story, your energy—unique, simply.
Can it be used as a room fragrance?
The richness of our compositions isn't just expressed on the skin. Thanks to their exceptional concentration, our perfumes can also be used as home fragrances, diffusing an elegant and captivating aura throughout your space. A perfume is a fragrance that you love, for the purpose for which you use it.
What is an essential oil? What is its role in a perfume?
A true treasure of nature, essential oil is a pure and concentrated aromatic substance extracted from the finest plants (flowers, leaves, fruits, wood, roots, bark, etc.) by distillation or cold pressing. A cornerstone of perfumery, it forms the natural base of olfactory creations, which the perfumer combines with other rare essences to compose a subtle balance of top, middle, and base notes.
Do Minalys perfumes change color differently on different skin types?
Every skin tells a different story. Our perfumes unfold upon contact with your skin, harmonizing with its warmth, its energy, its very nature. Thus, each fragrance becomes unique, profoundly personal—your perfume, and no one else's.
Do the perfumes contain allergens, are they suitable for pregnant/breastfeeding women or children?
Our perfumes are made from high-quality raw materials and comply with European standards (IFRA).
They may contain mild natural allergens from essential oils. If you have a known sensitivity, it is advisable to test the fragrance on a small area of skin before use.
Our products, which are highly concentrated at 30%, are not specifically intended for pregnant or breastfeeding women, or young children. As a precaution, we recommend spraying them on clothing, hair, or in the air rather than applying them directly to the skin.
Every skin reacts differently: use your perfume with precision and sensitivity.
