YanFroloff
Russian niche perfumery by nose Yan Froloff.
YanFroloff is the eponymous label of perfumer Yan Froloff, who began releasing fragrances around 2014 and has since built a catalogue running into the dozens. The line works in a classical idiom — fougères, chypres, leather and oriental constructions named with deliberate restraint (Bois, Musc, Sandale, Chypre 1940) — and trades on Froloff's role as both creator and signature on the bottle. The brand is small and artisan in feel, distributed mainly through niche etailers and Fragrantica listings rather than a flagship boutique. Compositions favour traditional materials and the long, slow drydowns associated with mid-century perfumery, which gives them a slightly archival, study-piece quality. YanFroloff suits wearers interested in textbook genre exercises from a single nose rather than a marketing-driven collection.
DNA over time
Each column is an era. Each colored band shows that family’s share of accord weight across every perfume the house released in that window. Bigger band = the house leaned harder on that family.
