A decadent escape into pure indulgence: burnt sugar, velvety vanilla and soft musk. Escapade Gourmande by Maison Mataha is a boldly gourmand Extrait de Parfum, composed by perfumer Vincent Ricord. Caramelized black sugar, velvety vanilla, warm tonka bean and soft musk create a fragrance that feels edible, luxurious and unforgettable: comfort wrapped in elegance.

The Story

The founding creation of Maison Mataha's Mémoire Gourmande collection, Escapade Gourmande was inspired by the memory of a crème brûlée, the caramelized sugar crust giving way to a warm, enveloping vanilla. Vincent Ricord translates that sensation into a darker vanilla with a burnt facet.

How It Smells

Opening
Like the top of a freshly torched crème brûlée: warm caramelized black sugar and rich sweetness fill the air. It is intensely gourmand but smooth and luxurious rather than synthetic.

Heart
The vanilla becomes deeper and more velvety while tonka adds a soft toasted warmth. It feels thick, comforting and addictive, like warm custard with cashmere softness on skin.

Dry Down
Sensual and enveloping: fluffy musk, rich vanilla and benzoin's sweet amber warmth.

Chilled hibiscus tea over crushed berries, spiced with leather and mint. Hibiscus Mahajád by Maison Crivelli is flamboyant luxury captured in scent. Vibrant hibiscus, juicy cassis, luminous Damask rose, cool mint, sensual leather and creamy vanilla create a fragrance that feels bold, glamorous and unforgettable: powerful elegance with irresistible presence. Created by perfumer Quentin Bisch.

The Story

Released in 2021, Hibiscus Mahajád grew from founder Thibaud Crivelli’s experience of drinking hibiscus tea in a gemstone market. The perfume builds on the tea’s tart, fruity character, with rose and vanilla accentuating its rosy, vanillic side, and sets the brightness of hibiscus against spiced leather and spearmint.

Golden luxury in fragrance form. Erba Gold by Xerjoff is a radiant Eau de Parfum of sparkling citrus, luscious fruits, warm spice, creamy vanilla and sensual musk, a scent of vibrant sophistication with a rich Mediterranean glow.
