Quick answer: The collaboration scents in this guide fall into three groups: fresh citrus scents, fruity and floral scents, and warm woody or gourmand scents. Choose by season first, then by how sweet and how strong you want the scent to be. The comparison table near the end puts all ten side by side.
The collaboration range is easiest to understand through one scent. Mykonos Empire x RRQ is a citrus extrait de parfum with lime, bergamot, mandarin orange and tropical fruits on top, and it makes a handy reference point for the rest. The full range sits in the collaborations collection, and this guide covers ten of its scents. Partner names appear exactly as they do in the product names, and we add no background on them, because the product pages do not give any.
Who Mykonos has collaborated with
The partner names in this guide are RRQ, AlterEgo, SetiawanAde, Paola Serena, Violenzia, Sapeyeeee and Jumbo. Some partners have several scents, so one name does not tell you what to expect. A partner is not a scent style: the three Sapeyeeee scents here are a fruity musk, a cherry and a chai latte. That is why we group by scent family instead.
Fresh and citrus-led
Empire x RRQ continues with Sicilian orange, ginger, jasmine and coconut water in the heart, then patchouli, white musk and tonka bean. It is for him, moderate in intensity and listed for all four seasons. Mykonos has redesigned the bottle under the name Imperium, and the listing says the composition is unchanged.
Mykonos x SetiawanAde Glitch opens with Sicilian bergamot, apple, grapefruit and charred pineapple. The heart adds lavender, artemisia, lily of the valley, pink pepper, vanilla and dried jasmine, over patchouli, vanilla and musk. Lavender and artemisia typically read herbal, so Glitch feels greener and drier than the juicier, more tropical Empire. It is listed for summer, daily wear, sport and work. Its partner scent is covered in our Glitch vs Invade comparison.
Mykonos x Paola Serena Jynx is an eau de parfum that mixes citrus with woody notes. Bergamot, grapefruit, ginger, melon and marine notes open it. Clove, nutmeg, lavender, sage and lily of the valley form the heart, and leather, vetiver, sandalwood, amber, musk and iris sit underneath. It has the longest note list of the three and is rated strong.
Fruity and floral
Mykonos x AlterEgo MyEgo is the boldest here: muscat grapes, pink pepper, bergamot and aldehydes (typically a bright, clean sparkle), then amber, jasmine and geranium, then musk, vanilla, transparent wood and Iso E Super, often a smooth, dry woody note. It is unisex and listed for autumn and winter. Our guide to Empire and MyEgo sets the two side by side.
Two eau de parfums are for her. Mykonos x Violenzia Violette pairs exotic berries, pink pepper and caramel with osmanthus and Bulgarian rose, over patchouli, amber and wood. Mykonos x Sapeyeeee Rouge is lighter and softer: green pear and lemon blossom, then lily of the valley, ambrette and violet, then Orcanox™ and musk. Ambrette is often described as a soft, musky note. For how layers work, see fragrance notes explained.
Mykonos x Jumbo Once Upon Don is a unisex extrait for spring and summer. It is green and bright, with cardamom, violet leaf, pineapple and mandarin orange, then lily of the valley, jasmine, lavender and artemisia, and a base of amberwood, moss and white musk.
Warm, woody and gourmand
Mykonos x SetiawanAde Invade is for him and rated strong. Pink pepper, lavender absolute and juniper give a spicy start, then cashmeran, cinnamon bark and caramel, then amber, Madagascar vanilla and drywoods. Set against Glitch, it is the same partner name but the opposite mood: dark and warm instead of bright and herbal.
Mykonos x Sapeyeeee Chai Crema Latte is the gourmand of the range: cinnamon, gingerbread, coffee and cardamom, then tea leaves, caramel, milk and hazelnut, then vanilla, tonka bean, musk and milk. Mykonos x Sapeyeeee Dolce Cherry is fruitier and stronger, with maraschino cherry, plum, dried apricot and black cherry over tonka bean, vetiver and woods. It is listed for evening and special occasions only. More recent releases are in our new perfumes guide.
