Quick answer: There are four new Mykonos releases. Daydream is a clean, aldehydic unisex scent with peach and rose. Inception Reimagined combines Inception and Sorrento into a fresh, fizzy citrus. Monaco Royale Black is the darker take on Monaco Royale, for him. And Reflection Elixir now also comes as a 100 ml bottle. All four are extraits de parfum in 100 ml at €49.99, and all are listed as coming soon.
This guide to the new Mykonos releases covers what each one smells like on paper, who it is for, how it relates to the Mykonos scents you may already know, and what the sizes and price are. One thing up front: these perfumes cannot be ordered yet and we have not worn them. Everything below is based on the notes and product data in our store, where we are an authorized Mykonos retailer for Europe. Where we interpret the notes, we say so.

Mykonos Daydream: clean, aldehydic and softly fruity
Mykonos Daydream is a unisex extrait de parfum described as clean, aldehydic, citrusy and fruity.
- Top: aldehydes, orange blossom
- Heart: peach, rose, violet
- Base: vanilla, sandalwood, white musk
Aldehydes are what give a perfume that airy, freshly-washed sparkle, and orange blossom adds a citrusy white-flower note. Underneath sits a soft heart of peach, rose and violet and a creamy base of vanilla, sandalwood and white musk.
Who it is for: going by the notes, people who like clean perfumes but want fruit and flowers with them, not just musk.
How it relates to the range: Mykonos Untamed and Mykonos Penthouse also use aldehydes, with a linen accord and a soap accord respectively. Daydream takes the same clean start in a more floral, peachy direction. The product page lists it as inspired by Acne Studios par Frédéric Malle. Read more in our first look at the Mykonos Daydream notes.
Mykonos Inception Reimagined: Inception meets Sorrento
Mykonos Inception Reimagined is a unisex extrait de parfum that combines two existing Mykonos scents: Mykonos Inception and Mykonos Sorrento. It is described as fresh, fizzy, citrusy and soapy.
- Top: bergamot, lemon, fizzy grapefruit, mandarin orange
- Heart: neroli, ginger, black tea, magnolia
- Base: musk, cedarwood, amber, guaiac wood
Compare the pyramids and you can see the join. Lemon, black tea and guaiac wood come from Inception. Fizzy grapefruit, mandarin orange, magnolia and amber come from Sorrento. Bergamot, neroli, ginger, musk and cedarwood are in both. Inception's cinnamon and Sorrento's powdery notes and patchouli are not in the new pyramid.
Who it is for: anyone who likes a fresh citrus with some structure, and especially people who could not choose between the two parents. Both Inception and Sorrento are listed for him; Inception Reimagined is listed as unisex.
How it relates to the range: it sits in our citrus collection next to its parents, which we compare in Inception vs Sorrento. The product page lists it as inspired by Louis Vuitton Imagination and Sospiro Vibrato. The full breakdown is in our first look at the Mykonos Inception Reimagined notes.
Mykonos Monaco Royale Black: the darker Monaco Royale
Mykonos Monaco Royale Black is an extrait de parfum for him, presented as the darker, more masculine take on Mykonos Monaco Royale. It comes in a matte black bottle with a Greek key pattern.
- Top: pineapple, cardamom, blood orange
- Heart: Madagascar vanilla, coconut, clary sage
- Base: tonka bean, ebony wood, patchouli
Fruit and spice on top, a creamy vanilla and coconut heart kept in check by herbal clary sage, and a dark base of tonka bean, ebony wood and patchouli. On paper it is the warmest and heaviest of the four.
Who it is for: going by the notes, people who like sweet-woody scents with vanilla and tonka bean, for cooler days and evenings.
How it relates to the range: the original Monaco Royale lists pear, melon and green notes over cedarwood, moss, caramel and musk, and is unisex. The two note lists do not overlap, so treat Monaco Royale Black as a new scent in a darker register and not as a stronger version of the original. It is filed under for him. The product page lists it as inspired by Rabanne 1 Million Black. More in our first look at the Mykonos Monaco Royale Black notes.
Mykonos Reflection Elixir: now also in 100 ml
Mykonos Reflection Elixir is not a new scent. What is new is the bottle: next to the existing 50 ml, a 100 ml size is being added at €49.99. It is the same perfume in a larger bottle.
- Top: grapefruit, bergamot, ginger, rhubarb leaves
- Heart: ylang-ylang, peach, magnolia
- Base: ambroxan, musk, chypre accord
Reflection Elixir is a unisex citrus and fruity extrait: a bright grapefruit and rhubarb opening, a soft heart of peach and white flowers, and a clean ambroxan and musk base.
Who it is for: people who already wear Reflection Elixir and go through a 50 ml quickly, and anyone who wants a juicy, floral citrus as an everyday scent.
How it relates to the range: it is the fruitier sibling of Mykonos Reflection; see Reflection vs Reflection Elixir for the differences. If you are unsure about the bottle size, 50 ml or 100 ml helps you decide.
Which new Mykonos release should you choose?
- You want clean and soft: Daydream.
- You want fresh citrus: Inception Reimagined, or Reflection Elixir if you prefer your citrus fruitier and more floral.
- You want warm and dark: Monaco Royale Black.
- You already know what you like: Reflection Elixir in 100 ml is the only one of the four that existing customers have been able to wear before.
These are readings of the note pyramids, not wear reports. We have no brand ratings for longevity, sillage or projection for the three new scents to pass on, and we will not guess at them.
What does "inspired by" mean here?
Where we mention an inspiration above, we repeat the line the product page states. It names the direction a composition took. It does not mean two perfumes smell alike on your skin, and Mykonos is not affiliated with the houses named. We explain it in what "inspired by" means on a perfume.
Sizes and price
All three new scents come in one size, 100 ml, at €49.99 each. Reflection Elixir keeps its 50 ml bottle and gets a 100 ml bottle at €49.99. All four are extraits de parfum; our guide to extrait de parfum vs eau de parfum explains what that concentration means.
