The Story

Created by Nathalie Koobus in 2017 for Bon Parfumeur, this fragrance opens with the sharp, fresh-spicy note of cardamom, which contrasts beautifully against a rich base of sandalwood and amber. The composition is further enhanced by cumin and thyme, adding depth to its warm spicy character. Cedar and patchouli provide a grounding woody element that balances the aromatic top notes and the powdery heart of jasmine and coconut nectar.

Application Tips

Apply lightly to pulse points; the cardamom top note is vivid but fleeting. The sandalwood and amber base will develop over time, so it's best worn close to skin for an intimate, personal experience rather than filling a room.

The story behind the bottle.

The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where warm spices and woodsy notes blend into a comforting embrace.
