House of Cosmo Perfumes: A Complete Guide to Every Fragrance (2026)

By Redolia · Published September 22, 2026

House of Cosmo is a fragrance house founded by Chris Munday and his wife Emilee, based in Utah, which launched its entire line across 2025 in roughly 110 days. The perfumes are composed by two French perfumers, Bérénice Watteau and Mallory Napoli, and the concept is space and story — each scent is built around a scene rather than a note list, with names like Galaxia, Polaris and New Eden. Every bottle is $215 for 100 ml, labelled Parfum, in heavy glass with a faceted black cap. We stock all seven at Redolia, and this guide covers each one.

The story of House of Cosmo

Most new houses launch with two or three scents and add slowly. House of Cosmo did the opposite — a full range, out in months, each with its own visual world. That is a risky way to start, because it gives customers nowhere to hide if the quality is uneven. It is not uneven.

The brand describes its approach as story-driven, built around curiosity: taking a question or a memory and answering it in scent rather than starting from a fragrance family. That explains some of the odder note choices in the line, like the menthol and coconut opening of Element Δ, or the wet stone and salt of Lunar Minérale.

What the house does not do is chase the current gourmand trend with seven variations on vanilla. The range spans an aquatic, a mineral aromatic, two woody-spicy compositions, a coffee gourmand, a fruity floral and a dark amber. That spread is the reason we carry the whole line rather than cherry-picking two.

Every House of Cosmo fragrance we carry, explained

House of Cosmo Galaxia Parfum

Notes: espresso, brown sugar, pink pepper · coconut milk, cacao, toffee, freesia · marshmallow, driftwood, white musk. Perfumer: Mallory Napoli. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The gourmand, and the one customers reach for first. Espresso and brown sugar arrive together, which sounds like a dessert but plays as a proper coffee note with pepper behind it. Coconut milk and cacao soften the middle, and driftwood in the base stops the marshmallow going sticky.

Best for: autumn and winter, evenings, coffee lovers. See how it compares to the wider category in our coffee perfume guide. Shop Galaxia.

House of Cosmo Crimson Aura Parfum

Notes: black cherry, red wine, olibanum · vanilla, tonka bean, rum, tobacco, cedar · oak, guaiac wood, labdanum, ambroxan, oud, sandalwood. Perfumer: Bérénice Watteau. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The heavyweight. Black cherry and red wine open it boozy and dark, with olibanum adding a church-incense edge that keeps the fruit from reading as candy. Tobacco and rum carry the middle, and the base is a proper stack of woods — oak, guaiac, oud, sandalwood — with labdanum underneath.

Best for: cold nights and occasions. Who should buy it: anyone who likes dark cherry fragrances; we compared it to the rest of that category in our cherry perfume guide. Shop Crimson Aura.

House of Cosmo Polaris Parfum

Notes: stardust accord, ginger, bergamot, grapefruit · cardamom, geranium, rose, cedar, sage · vetiver, tonka bean, suede, ambroxan. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The most wearable of the seven. Grapefruit and ginger make a bright, slightly spiced opening, the house's stardust accord adding a metallic shimmer over it. Cardamom, rose and sage give the middle a dry aromatic structure, and vetiver with suede closes it soft and clean.

Best for: work, daytime, year-round wear. Who should buy it: anyone who wants one bottle from the house that suits any occasion. Shop Polaris.

House of Cosmo Nova Parfum

Notes: candy, melon, bergamot, cardamom, pink pepper · Tahitian monoi, jasmine sambac, tuberose, rum · vanilla, cedar, ambroxan, oud, sandalwood. Perfumer: Bérénice Watteau. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The fruity floral, and the sweetest opening in the line. Candy and melon sound juvenile on paper but the cardamom and pink pepper cut them quickly, and monoi with tuberose turns the middle creamy and tropical. Oud and sandalwood in the base give it more weight than the opening suggests.

Best for: spring and summer evenings, white-floral lovers. Shop Nova.

House of Cosmo New Eden Parfum

Notes: ozone, bergamot, nectarine, grapefruit · cassis, lily-of-the-valley, Iso E Super · musk, sandalwood, vanilla, ambroxan, oakmoss. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The aquatic. Ozone and nectarine open it green and wet rather than salty, cassis and lily-of-the-valley keep the middle floral, and oakmoss in the base gives it an old-fashioned chypre edge that most modern aquatics skip. It is the lightest thing the house makes.

Best for: hot weather and daytime. Skip it if you want projection; this is the quietest of the seven. Shop New Eden.

House of Cosmo Lunar Minérale Parfum

Notes: wet stone, juniper berries, bergamot · salt, lavender, rose, cardamom, violet leaf · clearwood, ambroxan, cedar. Perfumer: Bérénice Watteau. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The mineral one, and the most unusual idea in the range. Wet stone and juniper open it cold and almost grey, salt adds a saline lift rather than a beach effect, and lavender with violet leaf keeps it herbal. Clearwood and cedar finish it dry.

Best for: spring, warm days, anyone who dislikes sweetness entirely. Shop Lunar Minérale.

House of Cosmo Element Δ Parfum

Notes: menthol, coconut, bergamot, lemon · cocoa, lavender, tobacco leaf, heliotrope, Iso E Super · cedar, musk, ambergris, vanilla, patchouli, sandalwood. Released: 2025. Price: $215 / 100 ml.

The strangest of the seven and the one we most often hand people to smell blind. Menthol and coconut together is not a combination anyone asks for, yet the cooling effect against the creaminess works. Cocoa and tobacco leaf make the middle warm and slightly smoky, then it lands on a soft vanilla-sandalwood base.

Best for: cool evenings, adventurous wearers. Sample this one first — it divides people more than anything else in the line. Shop Element Δ.

House of Cosmo comparison table

Which House of Cosmo fragrance should you choose?

Every bottle costs the same, so this is purely about style. Start with Polaris if you want one fragrance that works anywhere — it is the safest and most versatile of the seven.

Choose Galaxia if you like gourmands and Crimson Aura if you want the most dramatic option in the range. Those two overlap least, so owning both makes sense in a way that owning Galaxia and Nova does not.

Choose Lunar Minérale or New Eden if sweetness is not your thing; Lunar Minérale is the drier and stranger of the pair, New Eden the more conventional. Sample Element Δ before buying — menthol and coconut is a genuine love-or-hate opening, and we would rather you try it than return it.

Frequently asked questions

Is House of Cosmo perfume worth it?

At $215 for 100 ml, House of Cosmo sits below most niche houses of comparable concentration, and the compositions are the work of two established French perfumers rather than an anonymous lab. The bottles are heavy and the scent concepts are genuinely distinct from one another. If you want a house nobody else in the room is wearing yet, this is a good time to buy.

Who is behind House of Cosmo?

The brand was founded by Chris Munday with his wife Emilee, and is based in Utah. The full line launched across 2025 in roughly 110 days, which is unusually fast for a new house. Bérénice Watteau and Mallory Napoli composed the fragrances.

What does House of Cosmo Galaxia smell like?

Galaxia is the gourmand of the line: espresso, brown sugar and pink pepper at the top, then coconut milk, cacao and toffee, finishing on marshmallow, driftwood and white musk. It reads as coffee-and-caramel rather than dessert-sweet, and the driftwood keeps it from turning sticky. Mallory Napoli composed it.

Which House of Cosmo is best for winter?

Crimson Aura. Black cherry, red wine and olibanum open it, tobacco and rum build the middle, and oud, guaiac and labdanum weigh down the base. It is the darkest and densest thing the house makes, and it suits cold weather far better than the fresher Polaris or New Eden.

Is House of Cosmo unisex?

Yes. All seven are sold as unisex and none is gender-coded. Galaxia and Nova lean sweet, Polaris and Lunar Minérale lean dry and mineral, and Crimson Aura sits in the middle as a dark amber.

Does House of Cosmo last long?

These are labelled Parfum and generally give a full day, with Crimson Aura and Element Δ the heaviest and New Eden the lightest by design. Ambroxan appears in the base of most of the line, which is part of why they hold on skin.

What is the Stardust note in Polaris?

Stardust is a brand accord rather than a real material — no one distils stardust. In Polaris it functions as a bright, slightly metallic sparkle over grapefruit and ginger, before the fragrance settles into cardamom, rose and sage on vetiver, tonka and suede.

Which House of Cosmo should I buy first?

Galaxia if you like sweet and gourmand, Polaris if you want something clean and wearable to work, Crimson Aura if you want the most dramatic option. All three are $215 for 100 ml, so the decision is about style rather than budget.

What does House of Cosmo Element Δ smell like?

Element Δ opens with an unusual menthol-and-coconut pairing over bergamot and lemon, then moves into cocoa, lavender and tobacco leaf, finishing on vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli and ambergris. It is the strangest composition in the range and the one most worth sampling before buying.
