Immersive perfume spaces are popping up all over the place lately, and Soace NK recently invited people to step into an olfactive art gallery, featuring some of the hottest new fragrance launches around. Here’s what we tried (and loved the most)…

Space NK’s Granary Square Kings Cross pop up promised you could ‘Step into our immersive fragrance gallery and get creative with scent. Delve into masterpieces by Phlur, Glossier and more, and learn how to express yourself through scent. You'll take on the role of both curator and artist as you move through the space, before leaving with an exclusive goodie bag*.’

We smelled:

DedCool Mineral Milk

‘This dreamy perfume combines notes of coastal lavender, ocean air, marine salt, amber milk, Virginia cedar and Australian sandalwood. The result is a subtle scent that can be worn on its own or used as a base to layer other perfumes. It can be described as a fragrance that smells like skin, only better.’

Escentric Molecules 01 + Champaca

‘This modern scent offers a rich, floral journey, as elements of sweet jasmine entwine with orange flowers, and the earthiness of tea. Designed to unfold over time, it dries down to reveal enduringly soft and creamy trails.

As part of the brand’s extraordinary M+ line, Escentric Molecules M+ Champaca has the super aroma Iso E Super as its base. This velvety, warm fragrance enhancer delivers gentle hints of vanilla and musk, and brings out the olfactory beauty of other aromas. Here, it’s blended with champaca to showcase the Indian bloom’s honeyed, floral charm.’

Glossier You Soie

‘Find a truly unique signature scent with Glossier You Soie Eau de Parfum, a sensual, floral personal fragrance that smells different on every wearer. This personal fragrance is designed to be fresh and genderless.

Long lasting and refined, the You Soie fragrance opens with a top note of bergamot. At its heart are notes of rice milk, jasmine and tiare water. The base is warm and musky thanks to a base note of ambrox.’

Parfums de Marly Delina (& flankers)

Delina Exclusif: “This enchanting floral parfum offers a deeper, richer and more sensual interpretation of the original Delina scent, layering fruit, rose and woods.

This highly wearable fragrance opens with bright and fruity notes of pear, lychee and grapefruit, followed by a heart of Damascena rose, incense and vetiver that adds a floral depth with a hint of smoke. A soft base of vanilla, musk and evernyl rounds out the scent with smooth warmth.’

Phlur Honey Moon

‘Calm the mood with PHLUR Honey Moon Eau de Parfum, an eau de parfum inspired by gentle renewal and slow transformation. This floral fragrance unfolds with a warm, grounded character that feels softly expressive and quietly assured.

The opening blends mandarin and lavender, bringing light citrus notes balanced by aromatic freshness. At the heart, orange blossom and Manuka honey add smooth, nectar-like warmth, enriched by saffron for subtle depth. These notes create a rounded, comforting presence. As the scent settles, tonka, vanilla bean and sandalwood form a mellow base with lingering warmth.’

Kayali Sweet Peach / Plush Pear

Sweet Peach: ‘The fragrance starts with a burst of juicy peach, crisp red apple and citrussy bergamot before flowing into a core of creamy frangipani and other floral notes. A complex base of earthy, woody and gourmand aromas rounds off this long-lasting perfume.’

Ellis Brooklyn Isla Sirena

‘fragrance inspired by a sunlight escape and island warmth.

Top notes of Blue Java banana, creamy papaya, sea salt and lime bring a fresh, lightly fruity opening. At the heart, coconut water and vanilla orchid soften the profile along with ginger flower for gentle warmth. These notes give the EDP a smooth, sun-warmed character. The base settles into vetiver, brown sugar and teak wood, adding depth and lasting warmth.’
