Which Reinvented sample to try first

Reinvented sells extraits in black glass with a coloured sphere as the cap, sorted by scent profile. Eight samples in order of popularity, and a map of the saffron and spice.

Reinvented Sacred Bond Extrait de Parfum sample

Reinvented describes perfume as the link between mind, energy, emotion, spirit and body, a fluid world between the visible and the invisible. In practice that means Extraits de Parfum in black glass, each closed with a glass sphere in its own colour, and a range the brand sorts by scent profile from citric to oriental. The brand says its fragrances are vegan, phthalate-free and cruelty-free. The names, Sacred Bond, Lucid Dream, Illusion, tell you the mood but not the smell. Because an extrait is concentrated and the style is new to many noses, a Reinvented sample is the sensible way to find out which of the eleven suits you.

Reinvented: eight samples, ordered by popularity

We ordered the samples on our list by the position each perfume holds on the Fragrantica popularity list of the house, as captured by NicheGems on 7 October 2026. The review counts behind the list are small for a young brand, so popularity here is a rough guide, not a verdict. Notes are given as the house records them.

Sacred Bond (2023, Hüseyin Erdoğmuş) is about the invisible ties between people: mandarin, bergamot and raspberry, then jasmine, gardenia and rose, over saffron, sandalwood, benzoin, caramel, vanilla and amber.

Lucid Dream (2025, Cristian Calabrò) links to the clarity of dreams: saffron, plum and raspberry, then saffron blossom, rose and white flowers, over sandalwood, patchouli and oud.

Illusion (2023, Douglas Morel and Cristian Calabrò) is a waking hallucination: dried fruits, cotton sugar and juniper, then rose, saffron and clove buds, over sweet vanilla, amber, gurjum balm and cedarwood.

The Reinvented note map

Saffron runs through Sacred Bond, Lucid Dream, Illusion, Pheromones and Epiphany, and rose through the same five. Cardamom links Pheromones, Epiphany and Eureka, sandalwood links Sacred Bond, Lucid Dream, Pheromones and Eureka, and vanilla sits in Sacred Bond, Illusion and Pheromones. Patchouli grounds Lucid Dream, Epiphany and Eureka, and coffee opens Eureka. Ode To Psyche and Enigmatic Aura, both limited editions, complete the ten.

A first order of Sacred Bond, Epiphany and Ethereal Soul covers warm, spiced and light. How to test perfume on skin gives a simple routine, winter perfume samples suits the stronger ones, and extrait de parfum samples shows the same concentration at other houses.

From Reinvented sample to bottle

If one holds up over several wearings, the bottle is the next step. Our vial is filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us; Reinvented is not involved and it is not a brand sample. The first perfume in full size is at Reinvented Sacred Bond. The sample set page shows how to combine vials, and the FAQ covers filling and labels.

FAQ

Which Reinvented sample should I try first?

Sacred Bond. It leads the Fragrantica popularity list for the house on our records, and its jasmine, gardenia and rose over caramel, saffron and sandalwood show the warm, floral side of the range.

What does the coloured sphere mean?

Every bottle is black glass with a round glass sphere as the cap, and the colour of the sphere is different for each perfume. It is a design feature of the brand, and it helps you tell eight samples apart.

Are there lighter choices in the range?

Yes. Ethereal Soul and Aether Aura are recorded as moderate in intensity and suit daytime, with fruit and citrus. Sacred Bond, Illusion, Pheromones, Epiphany and Eureka are recorded as strong.
