If you\u2019re anything like us, your wardrobe is probably anchored by a handful of staples from COS<\/a>. The brand is known for its minimalist aesthetic \u2014 think crisp button-down shirts<\/a> and flowy maxi dresses<\/a> \u2014 that makes getting dressed feel effortless. Now it\u2019s aiming to bring that same signature touch to your dressing table with its first-ever fragrance launch.<\/p>\n

The COS Perfumery collection<\/a> features four gender-neutral scents formulated in Grasse, France \u2014 also known as the perfume capital of the world, with its abundant supply of fragrant flowers, including peonies, rose, jasmine, and lavender. At $99, they\u2019re steeper than your average perfume from the likes of Zara<\/a> or & Other Stories<\/a> \u2014 but there\u2019s a reason for that. All four fragrances contain 20% perfume oil, the highest end of the spectrum for eaux de parfum (most hover between a 7% to 15% concentration). This higher concentration guarantees much better staying power, so you\u2019re certainly getting your money\u2019s worth. What\u2019s more, the collection is housed in tall, sculptural bottles that whisper good taste.<\/p>\n

Ahead, two fragrance-obsessed Refinery29 editors spritzed their way through the buzzy collection. Keep reading for our honest thoughts and which scents we\u2019re most keen to add to our daily rotation.<\/p>\n

Although the brand describes it as a woody scent, I\u2019d argue otherwise. It leans rich rather than clean, with bold hits of coffee, peppery resin, and aromatic clove that easily overpower the sandalwood. That\u2019s no bad thing \u2014 quite the opposite. It\u2019s warm, enveloping, and conjures the image of someone swathed in vintage fur coats. As it dries down, the sweetness fades and a hint of tobacco comes through, giving it a more grown-up edge, like stepping into a smoky whiskey bar. Of all the scents, Auburn has the most staying power. I sprayed it on my jacket days ago, and it\u2019s still lingering on the sleeves.\u201d <em>\u2014 Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-orange.1252849001.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS (opens in a new tab)\">COS<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-white.1252849004.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS Perfumery Fleuriste Eau de Parfum, $99 (opens in a new tab)\">COS Perfumery Fleuriste Eau de Parfum, $99<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/homestac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11891305.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI caught a whiff of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-white.1252849004.html\" target=\"_blank\">Fleuriste<\/a> at a press preview event and couldn\u2019t wait to get my hands on it. Master perfumer Nathalie Lorson likened it to \u2018walking into a florist, where floral bouquets intertwine with the air\u2019, and it\u2019s absolutely spot on. A bundle of magnolia, rose, and peonies immediately hits the nose, but thanks to refreshing pink pepper, bergamot, and mandarin in the top notes, there\u2019s an element of dewiness that reminds me more of freshly cut blooms rather than a stuffy floral perfume. Sandalwood and musk form the grounding base, resembling the stems and leaves of a plant. This is one of the most interesting interpretations of fresh flowers in perfumery, and the impressive longevity really adds to the appeal.\u201d <em>\u2014 Venus Wong, senior writer<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-white.1252849004.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS (opens in a new tab)\">COS<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-yellow.1252849003.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS Perfumery Solaire Eau de Parfum, $99 (opens in a new tab)\">COS Perfumery Solaire Eau de Parfum, $99<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/homestac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11891306.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI have to admit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cos.com\/en-gb\/unisex\/solaire-perfume\/product\/cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum-100ml-solaire-1252849003\">Solaire<\/a> is my least favorite of the collection \u2014 but it\u2019s still a beautiful scent, which says a lot about how luxurious this range is. Though black pepper and incense are the headline notes, it leans more floral to my nose, thanks to styrax, a heady white flower. It smells clean and airy, like diving into a pile of fresh laundry or using an expensive hand wash in a members-only New York hotel. The musk adds a soft, skin-like warmth that feels like a deep, comforting hug. I prefer this layered with Fleuriste, which is my top pick, but at $99 each, I\u2019d think twice about buying both. The price feels steep for a clothing brand, especially when Zara and & Other Stories offer perfumes that are just as good.\u201d <em>\u2014 Jacqueline Kilikita, beauty director<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Shop <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-yellow.1252849003.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS (opens in a new tab)\">COS<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div><title>DashDividers_1_500x100<\/title><\/div>\n<h2><a href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-orange.1252849002.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"COS Perfumery Mythe Eau de Parfum, $99 (opens in a new tab)\">COS Perfumery Mythe Eau de Parfum, $99<\/a><\/h2>\n<figure><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/homestac.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/11891317.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of earthy perfumes, but <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"smelling Mythe (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/go.skimresources.com?id=30283X879131&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cos.com%2Fen_usd%2Fcos-unisex-us%2Fproduct.cos-perfumery-eau-de-parfum%2C-100ml-orange.1252849002.html\" target=\"_blank\">smelling Mythe<\/a> on my wrists has made me question my longstanding belief. It\u2019s nothing like the overpowering, musty scent you typically associate with the genre. The vetiver note does make a deep, root-like first impression, but invigorating ginger and leafy cardamom immediately add a fresh and mysterious edge. As Mythe settles on the skin, it transforms into a soft tree bark-like finish, thanks to violet and amyris (a woody note derived from incense). To my nose, this smells like clean, freshly showered skin. I\u2019ve been spending a lot of time in hot and humid places recently, and I\u2019ve been spritzing this on repeat as it\u2019s one of the very few smells I can handle in the heat.
