EAU DE PARFUM
by MAXIME EXLER (MANE)
Inspiration:
VINTAGE PERFUMERY GETS A DIRTY MAKEOVER. NOT YOUR MOTHER'S ALDEHYDE PERFUME.
A decadent reimagining of vintage allure. Aldehydes and mimosa meet warm skin and animal instinct. Clean never smelled so dirty. A mischievous wink at vintage perfumery, where clean meets delightfully dirty. It opens with a burst of sun-shine—sparkling mandarin and the classic fizz of aldehydes—a playful tease before things get interesting. It’s the scent of freshly laundered linens hanging in the sun, with a hint of something a little naughtier lingering in the air. But don’t be fooled by its innocent facade. At its heart, a delicate mimosa absolute flirts with the unexpected warmth of white caramel and honey, like a whisper of forbidden secrets shared on a moonlit night. This fragrance is not afraid to embrace its darker side.
Notes:
HEAD - MANDARIN ESSENTIAL OIL, ALDEHYDE, AMBRINOL, SKATOLE
HEART - MIMOSA ABSOLUTE, WHITE CARAMEL, HONEY, ZAFRYL
BASE - TONKA BEAN ABSOLUTE, TONKITONE, SENSUAL MILK, AMBERY WOODS
Scent Description:
The base notes reveal a deliciously dirty secret. Tonka bean absolute, rich and sensual, mingles with the animalistic musk of tonkitone, a bold and untamed note that evokes the warmth of skin after a passionate embrace. It’s a scent that whispers of stolen kisses and lingering touches, a reminder that the most intoxicating experiences are often the ones we shouldn’t have. The final touch? A comforting embrace of ambery woods, grounding the fragrance in a lingering aura of mystery. It’s a reminder that even the wildest nights must eventually come to an end, leaving behind only the intoxicating memory of a scent that dared to be both clean and dirty, innocent and seductive.
