Electimuss Parfum: the Roman names as a guide through the house

Electimuss presents you with an unusual task. The fragrances are not named after notes or moods, but after gods, emperors, and places of the Roman Empire. Those who understand this order will save themselves the blind testing, because the name is the shortest description of the character here, and the product descriptions pick up on it. This page therefore first contextualizes the house and its origins, then explains the naming logic and the character axes, and finally shows in which formats you can get the brand here.

Electimuss London: what lies behind the house

Electimuss was founded, according to its own account, in 2015 by friends Luke Granger and Jason Collison, as a British luxury fragrance house that still belongs to the founders today. The starting point was personal: Luke Granger's homage to his American-Italian grandfather, who introduced him to the topic of fragrance as a child. This is documented on the manufacturer's website.

Externally, the house appears as Electimuss London, in English-speaking shops you will find it under Electimuss Perfume. Working independently is part of its self-image: The house expressly describes perfumers as creative partners and gives them freedom. In the descriptions on our site, they also appear by name, such as David Chieze for Astrum Nova or Kevin Mathys for Caspian Cherry. Those who want to see which other houses we carry can find them in our entire fragrance range.

Understanding Electimuss Parfum: what the Roman names announce

Imperium meant the power of high offices in ancient Rome, and the fragrance of this name is described as a fragrance of success, with confidence, style, and elegance. Jupiter, the king of the gods, gets a woody-earthy heart, which incense and amber enliven, while cistus rose, vanilla, tonka, and gray amber form the warm, resinous base. You read the name and know roughly in which direction the composition aims.

The principle runs through the line. Capua was the center of perfume production in antiquity, and the fragrance of the same name relies on a bright citrus opening over a spicy-smoky heart of cedar and incense. Vici Leather plays on Caesar's "Veni, vidi, vici", so "I came, I saw, I conquered". Mercurial Cashmere refers to Mercury, the messenger of the gods, Gladiator according to the description to the figure of Maximus, with salty amber, cardamom, and Egyptian geranium in the opening. The complete note indication is on the product page respectively.

Choosing Electimuss Parfum by character: bright, sweet, resinous

Faster than through fragrance families you reach the goal with this house over the character. The bright, sparkling side is served by compositions like Astrum Nova, described as an elegant woody fragrance with a lush, fruity heart, or Imperium with its sparkling opening. The sweet side stands for itself: Caspian Cherry is a tribute to the sweet cherry, which according to the description came to Europe via Roman trade on the Caspian Sea. And then there is the dark axis with oud, incense, patchouli, and leather, on which Gladiator, Patchouli of the Underworld, or Vici Leather lie.

For your selection this means: First think about whether the fragrance should stay light during the day or show presence in the evening; if you are unsure, take two candidates from opposite ends. Those who want to know how other houses approach the same direction find at Sospiro an Italian and at Memo Paris a French interpretation of the same themes. An Electimuss usually stands out in direct comparison through its texture: more densely constructed, with a clearly set base.

Looking for an Electimuss Discovery Set: here it is called a Travel Set

Those who look for an Electimuss Discovery Set usually mean a selection of several fragrances to get to know. You will find nothing under this name at our site. What is available is called a Travel Set and consists of three sprays of 10 ml each plus atomizer; besides, a refill version with five sprays of 10 ml is available. The idea behind it is a refillable travel kit for a fragrance you already like, not a cross-section of the brand.

You build the cross-section yourself here over the 2-ml size. It is in the size selection for every fragrance in the collection, and three or four of them from different characters will get you further than a pre-packaged set: You determine the order and pace yourself and do not have to buy a fragrance that you are not interested in anyway. How the travel form is constructed, you see on the Travel Set for Imperium.

Electimuss in 2, 5, 10 and 100 ml: which size is useful when

The size range is consistently designed at Electimuss: 2 ml, 5 ml, and 10 ml as discovery sizes, 100 ml as a large bottle. A 50-ml intermediate size is regularly searched for, but is not carried here; if 10 ml is too little for you and 100 ml is too much, the Travel Set is the intermediate step. In addition to the fragrances, there is also a Hair Mist in 100 ml, so a fragrance spray for the hair, which is lighter constructed than a perfume on the skin.

It is best to proceed in stages. With 2 ml you check whether the character suits you at all. With 5 or 10 ml you find out whether you still like the fragrance even when your environment smells it three times a week. The large bottle comes after that. Especially the resinous and oud-heavy compositions shift on the skin over hours and leave a different impression in the store after two minutes than in the evening.

Buying Electimuss Parfum: what counts with an independent house

An owner-run house produces in manageable quantities, and exactly there, bottles with an unclear history appear on secondary markets. That is why every item on this page bears the note "verified authenticity". It tells you that the goods have come to us through a traceable path; large bottles arrive at you as the house fills them, with packaging and batch identification.

If you want to pay for your order in cryptocurrency, this payment method is available. And if two names appeal to you equally, write briefly to our service which fragrance you last liked to wear. From this, it can be better deduced which of the two suits you, than from a comparison of two note lists.

One more point on expectations: An Electimuss is rarely a fragrance for casual wear. The compositions are built on presence; this applies to the bright ones as well as the resinous. If you sit in a narrow office or would rather hint at fragrance in everyday life, dose sparingly and put the spray on clothing instead of the neck. This takes nothing away from the composition, but distributes it more slowly.

Start with this house with the name that appeals to you the most, and get it in 2 ml. Put a second one from a different direction of the brand next to it. After a few days of alternating, you will notice which of the two ends up in your hand in the morning by itself. Everything else, size and format, then follows almost by itself.
