Cinemaniac

Cinemaniac by Xyrena is a highly distinctive, novelty fragrance that evokes the olfactory atmosphere of a mid-90s movie theater—popcorn, licorice, and damp carpet. Its performance is strong, with a long-lasting sillage that projects intensely, making it impossible to ignore. The scent is crafted to be authentic to the cinema environment, delivering a sweet, salty, buttery popcorn accord with unexpected notes of disinfectant and plastic, lending a sharp industrial edge. While the accuracy is praised as remarkable—many users describe the experience as transportive, nostalgic, and uncannily true to nostalgia’s grime—the fragrance is consistently described as unwearable in any conventional sense. The synthetic, chemical notes can turn sour on skin, and its sharp, aggressive character makes it best suited for special occasions, themed events like Comic-Con, or as a room spray. It appeals most to collectors, fans of conceptual fragrances, and those seeking an edgy, humorous statement piece.
