Cos is stepping into the world of fragrance with Cos Perfumery.
The fashion brand, based in London, is launching a debut collection of four scents on April 16, available worldwide in-store and online for $99 for 100 ml. bottles (and $49 for 15 ml. travel-size versions). While the brand has previously sold fragrance by other makers, including A.n.other Travel Perfume, this marks its first in-house release in beauty.
Crafted in Grasse, France — the region renowned as the world’s perfume capital — the Cos Perfumery eau de parfums include Auburn, using vanilla, cardamom coffee and woody notes; Mythe, a green scent with ginger, cardamom and vetiver; Fleuriste, a floral bouquet with rose, and Solaire, made with olibanum, myrrh, benzoin, amber and cistus.
Perfumers Sophie Labbé, Ilias Ermenidis and Nathalie Lorson are behind the scents.
“Fragrance is all about telling stories,” said Labbé in a statement. “Perfumery is like gardening, both require patience and a deep connection to the land.”
The bottles reflect the Cos minimalist aesthetic and focus on clean silhouettes and rich color palettes.
Of creating Auburn, which has a deep red hue, she added: “For me, it was about crafting a scent that embodies the elegance of black vanilla, a note that feels timeless and comforting. Three key ingredients bring Auburn to life. First, coffee, with its rich, roasted depth and subtle fruity accents, adds an energizing warmth. Then, vanilla, sourced from Madagascar, brings a creamy sweetness that’s soft and enveloping. Finally, sandalwood, with its warm, woody texture, creates an elegant foundation that ties everything together.”
The brand is also introducing a selection of four candles with the release, each featuring its own fragrance, priced at $69.

Cos was launched in 2007 by Sweden’s H&M Group. Most recently, the brand announced Adrien Brody as the face of its spring campaign collection — which will be presented in a runway show slated for April 2 in Athens, Greece.
