I’m always excited when Rubini Profumi launches a new perfume launch (launch being the operative word), as Hyperion takes you into space! It’s a beautiful perfume of contrasts with a huge blast of peppery spices before leaving you in a soft smoky woody dry incense haze that sparkles like new ideas. Wearing Hyperion from its opening through to its dry down reminds me of Christopher Nolan’s space epic Interstellar, it’s a wild ride from earth through time into endless space. This is another beautiful wild perfume by perfumer Cristiano Canali. Rubini is always pushing the boundaries and staying at the forefront of perfumery.

Hyperion’s opening always takes my breath away, a kiss of tart yuzu with aromatic pines, shimmers with balsamic glints of glassy cool aromatic juniper and pine fresh greens that swirls with a watery cool incense feeling as if all of nature is held with in this smoke. It’s like inhaling the air in a forest way up a mountain, feeling that freshness fill you up while remembering that all oceans started as mountains before the world divided. A beautiful bending of time through perfume dreaming in nature, Rubini Profumi Hyperion is a beautiful escape with a meditative edge as a bone-dry woody incense smoke wraps around you with a soft whisper of abstract florals pulling the full opening back into a more focused structure. The peppery notes have this delightfully prickly feel as if you’re gently creasing a fir tree or rather a futuristic tree as Hyperion has a mineralic metallic verticality running through it. Hyperion’s Supernova peppers start to build in a wild way. Swirls of tart grapefruit citruses feel super fresh and also aquatic with a bright spiced warmth from Supernova pepper accord, Hyperion citrus spice is making me think of Timur pepper which I know is a material that Cristiano Canali has used regularly in the past.

It’s this fiery spice that sends Hyperion into space, pushing you through the dry pine trees out of the Zen Forest and takes you deep to space where its spices sparkle like stars. This Supernova pepper accord conjures the stars and moon in Hyperion, it’s fresh citruses feel like you’re swimming in a pale-yellow moonlight as those super diffusive spices feel like rocket fuel full of a bright wild Szechuan heat. It feels huge around you, but Cristiano Canali sculpts its facets to soften and round out some of the wilder edges, as if space is wrapping around you as you leave the earth behind. Again, scenes form Interstellar pop into my head smelling this, along with the beautiful promo video produced for Rubini Profumi Hyperion directed by Andrei Purcārea, the concept and perfume are captured beautifully, while leaving you space to dream.

The rocket fuel of the pepper softens  and Hyperion mellows into a softer woody resinous balsamic smoke that suspends you in a musky haze feeling like the endless expanse of space. It’s beautifully complex with a solar system of notes are hidden in this dry woody ambery smoky haze. The Supernova pepper accord shifts from the moon being atomised and now feels like the Milky Way. It’s peppery stars sparkling in a softer way its salty sour facets tease the last out of the citruses. There’s a subtle animalic dankness with the salt, its darkness makes the stars shine brighter. A luxurious use of tinctured ambergris, purring with a dark sweetness lost in the salty skin scent as if you have been laying out in the sun post swim.

Green aromatics add beautiful shades of fresh and dank to this spiced woody cloud, letting the balsamic resins keep that vertical feel moving forward, albeit at a slower more meditative place. You feel like you’re floating in this dark peppered musky haze yet there’s a comforting feel from the incense of the opening. Memories of forests seem to be stretched through time as if pulled and stretched through a black hole, feeling dry and stark with patchouli whispering of the earth. Hyperion feels like the scene in Interstellar as Mathew McConaughey floats through time after passing through the Rosen Bridge, Hyperion again bends time making it feel like our right back on earth even though you feel like you’ve been blasted in to space by that stunning pepper spice. There’s a comforting feeling from the incense that plays beautifully as a counter point to the Supernova peppers wild energy and edge. Rubini Profumi Hyperion captures that beautiful sensation of a wild dream that shifts into deep contemplation, its two sides, one of calm and the other excitement, make it a perfume that’s addictive to wear.
