The beginning of a new season is the best reason to update your perfume wardrobe. You can do this at Jan niche concept in the Leonardo business center, just opposite the Kyiv Opera Theater – the space opened after a large-scale renovation.
On March 25, in the heart of business Kyiv, Jan niche concept presented a renewed niche perfumery space in the Leonardo business center. This is a landmark place for the Vogue UA editorial office: this is where our offices have been located for a long time. The updated Jan niche concept presents a new look at what a modern perfume boutique in a metropolis looks like.
5 main facts about the updated location of JAN niche concept
1. Return to the roots
JAN at Leonardo has a long history that began in 2007: that's when the Odessa niche retailer took root in the heart of Kyiv. After a large-scale renovation in 2026, the boutique returned to the concept of an open yet intimate space. Located on the second floor of a business center next to the National Opera, it has become a point of intersection of business rhythm and high perfumery art.
2. Architecture of light and silence
The new concept, developed by CEO Oleksiy Radyan, is based on a balance between the openness of the metropolis and the need for personal experience.
-
Library aesthetics: The shelves resemble archives of rare editions, where instead of books there are olfactory stories;
-
Apricot Light: Soft lighting and sofa lounge areas create an intimate atmosphere where you can retreat to explore the aromas;
-
Transparency: Thanks to the open architecture of the storefronts, the space has become more visible, while remaining a cozy “shelter” from external noise;
3. Updated Jan logo
For the 35th anniversary of the company, JAN niche concept has rebranded (together with aprostir.marketing). The brand symbol — the butterfly — has become more sophisticated and modern. It symbolizes the transformation that the company has undergone: from the intimate showrooms of recent years to a new level of expertise and ease.
4. Impressive selection of brands
Jan Niche Concept is known for its curated collection of brands, many of which are exclusively available in Ukraine. The portfolio includes both legendary perfume houses and avant-garde niche projects.
Perfumes in Jan
The fragrance category features legends: Roja Parfums , one of the most expensive London perfume brands, whose fragrances embody luxury, self-irony, brilliance and serenity; Essential Parfums with its famous Bois Impérial, which became a real hit in Ukraine; the iconic Byredo with its iconic fragrances Bal d'Afrique and Gypsy Water, as well as Xerjoff – one of the “pillars” in the Jan Niche Concept portfolio. In Ukraine, this Italian house has a huge army of fans, and it is Jan that presents the most complete line of the brand, including exclusive collections.
Face and body care in Jan
The face and body care segment at Jan Niche Concept is represented by luxurious and super popular brands that transform daily routines into wellness rituals: La Sultane de Saba with its complex, exquisite aromatic compositions, the famous Ligne St Barth tanning formulas inspired by the nature of the Caribbean islands, as well as the French brand By Terry , where decorative cosmetics are enriched with active care ingredients, including the legendary rose extracts, which provide the skin with radiance and hydration throughout the day.
5. Main Premiere: Espresso Aoud by Roja London
The culmination of the opening was the “pre-premiere show” of the Espresso Aoud fragrance from the legendary niche perfume house Roja London.
This is the embodiment of the hottest dark gourmand trend: freshly roasted coffee beans, oud, caramelized pistachio, and spicy cinnamon create a deep and somewhat intellectual trail. Dense enough to please the owner, but transparent enough not to intrude on someone else's olfactory space.
The Jan niche concept team created an immersive Scent-to-Taste experience to introduce the fragrance and commissioned drink_buro to create a cocktail inspired by the notes of Espresso Aoud. The signature twist of an espresso martini, topped with an edible gold ice ball, was complemented by a smoky effect from a flavor blaster right before serving.
