Launched in 2025, Chimilka by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a creation that balances the sweetness of peach and Italian mandarin with earthy accords like leather and oakmoss. Perfumer Jérôme Epinette has crafted a composition where cardamom and saffron add warmth and complexity to the fruity and floral notes. The overall effect is both comforting and intriguing, with a powdery musk base that lingers long after the initial sweetness fades.

Application Tips
Chimilka is best applied directly to pulse points for warmth and longevity. The fruity top notes are fleeting but vibrant, so don’t be afraid to layer it over your usual skincare routine for a richer experience. This fragrance is designed to bloom gradually, so give it time to develop on the skin.
