A collaboration with Miguel Matos.
Clean, abstract and intriguing. Is it the smell of the new velvet seats in a dark cinema? Or the conditioned cool air? Or the fragrant echoes of trendy perfumes floating in between the spectators?
Cinematic is put together from an overdose of clean white musk, crisp hazy cashmeran, dry savory spices and a few drops of bitter carnation essence.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Cinematic suits close, low-lit spaces where the air feels conditioned and slightly hushed, and where a clean but unusual scent can register without shouting. It gives the impression of someone composed and observant, leaving a cool, polished trail rather than a loud entrance.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its clean musk and spicy haze can unfold without becoming sharp. A moderate application is enough; the scent is reported to last well and can carry from day into evening, with the white musk and cashmeran staying smooth on skin and the spice reading more clearly in the air.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like clean fragrances with a twist: musky, spicy, slightly abstract and not overly sweet. It will appeal to people who enjoy modern niche compositions, polished minimalism and scents that feel urban, dry and quietly unconventional.

The nose
Miguel Matos. Matos is known in niche perfumery for compositions that balance clarity with texture, often working with contrast: airy musks against spice, or familiar structures made slightly off-kilter. His style tends to feel modern and concept-led rather than decorative, which suits Cinematic well, where clean musk, dry spice and a restrained floral bitterness create an abstract, polished effect.
Collaborators
Miguel Matos shaped the fragrance’s composition, bringing his signature contrast of clean structure and subtle tension to the brief. Anselm Skogstad, Der Duft’s founder, developed the brand’s creative direction and worked with guest perfumers on the launch collection, framing Cinematic within the house’s minimalist, urban aesthetic.
Der Duft’s story
Der Duft builds a compact, carefully edited collection around clean design and unusual compositions. The house leans minimalist rather than ornate, with an urban, contemporary sensibility that favors clarity, quality and a slightly conceptual edge.
Cinematic’s concept
Cinematic was conceived as an abstract evocation of the cinema experience: the cool air, new velvet seats and the faint trace of other perfumes in the room. Built around an overdose of white musk, hazy cashmeran, dry spice and bitter carnation, it translates that atmosphere into a clean, modern composition with a retro undertow.
Extra info
Cinematic is part of Der Duft’s early launch lineup and remains in production. Its name and concept are built around an imagined cinema scene rather than a literal note list, turning everyday sensory details into a fragrance narrative.
