This month? We try out Alice Panikian’s Kindred eau de parfum…
Alice Panikian isn’t just another influencer, she’s a wellness-driven, transparency-obsessed creator who went from Miss Universe Canada to conscious-living advocate and fragrance innovator. And with her debut gender-fluid scent, Kindred Transparent Fragrance, she’s rewriting what luxury perfume can look like when emotional intention and ingredient integrity lead the way. Grounded in her belief in non-toxic beauty and grooming products and inspired by her mother and the invisible bonds that shape us, Panikian enters the fragrance space not as an outsider, but as someone raising the bar on an industry built on mystery…despite the fact that Kindred is as intriguing as a scent can be.
Contemporary and bold, the eau’s composition stands apart from traditional perfumes. Brought to life with Generation by Osmo, the AI-native fragrance house blending cutting-edge technology with master perfumer Christophe Laudamiel’s artistry, Kindred’s scent wafts of a new generation. It’s tech-meticulous, emotionally driven and fully disclosed—clean formula, no endocrine disruptors, no hidden irritants, just intentional craftsmanship.
The fragrance opens with rich and velvety black cherry notes that are soon absorbed into an elegant and modern pool of Bulgarian rose. Then the depth arrives: earthy patchouli and smooth sandalwood layer in grounding warmth, while creamy black vanilla lingers with a soft sweetness that stays close to the skin. The overall effect is intimate yet expressive, nurturing yet sensual, like a private moment that leaves a lasting impression.
Housed in a sleek, squat, black-wine-hued glass cylinder with a round cap, the bottle is modern and weighty with an architectural presence. Minimalist lines, refined profile and understated packaging, nothing feels showy and everything seems intentional. This is a scent that doesn’t need to compete—it simply resonates.
Alice Panikian Kindred Transparent Fragrance EDP, $65US for 30 ml, available online at smellkindred.com.
