Bonbons à la Violette

Nostalgia transformed into luxury: baked apples, golden caramel and buttery pastry. Jany is an Extrait de Parfum from Sora Dora, a gourmand built from baked apple, caramel, puff pastry, soft stone fruit and creamy vanilla. Warm, indulgent and richly gourmand yet refined, it is comfort dressed in elegance.

The Story

Jany takes its name from Antoine Sora Dora's daughter, who bakes tarte tatin, and recalls the family's cakes, madeleines and cookies, with echoes of summer afternoons and childhood snacks. Sora Dora is the French house begun by Antoine, who left Portugal for Provence in 1920 and worked as head gardener at a jasmine farm near Grasse.

How It Smells

Opening
Like a warm French pastry fresh from the oven: baked apple, caramelized sugar, soft Ceylon cinnamon and buttery puff pastry. It has a realistic tarte tatin quality, but with a refined niche elegance rather than a candle-like sweetness.

Heart
Peach, apricot and plum add a juicy richness, while osmanthus brings a soft, velvety floral facet that keeps it more complex than a standard gourmand.

Dry Down
Vanilla, almond, caramel and white musk melt into a creamy skin scent: cozy, delicious and comforting.

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.

About the perfumer – Quentin Bisch →

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. Maison Crivelli, founded in 2018, centers each creation on an unexpected discovery of a raw material.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold, vibrant and immediately unforgettable, a dazzling blend of hibiscus, cassis, peppermint and cinnamon. It feels juicy, sparkling and electric, like chilled hibiscus tea poured over crushed berries with a flash of fresh mint.

Heart
Richer and more sensual. Damask rose and hibiscus bloom into a lush floral heart that feels velvety, jammy and luxurious, while leather and ambrette add texture and warmth, a seductive contrast between sweetness and depth.

Dry Down
Warm and creamy, with vanilla, musks, ambery warmth and soft leather. It settles into an opulent cloud that smells rich, magnetic and impossible to ignore, with notably strong projection.

A dark vanilla bean painted white. Vanilla Powder Extrait by Matière Première is a luxurious, addictive vanilla in which dark Madagascar vanilla meets creamy white musks, soft coconut powder, palo santo and warm tonka bean. Richer and more intimate than the original Eau de Parfum, it wraps the skin in velvety sweetness and elegant depth.

The Story

Perfumer Aurélien Guichard, founder of Matière Première, imagined a dark vanilla bean painted white: a deep, supple vanilla with a salty facet, contrasted with modern white powders. The extrait raises the dosage of the hero ingredient, vanilla absolute from Fair for Life land in Madagascar, and adds a guest ingredient, Venezuelan tonka bean absolute, which unveils a new and unexpected facet of the original.

How It Smells

Opening
A fluffy veil of coconut powder and airy white musks gives a soft, skin-like sweetness.

Heart
The Madagascar vanilla becomes richer and smoother than in the original version, dark and supple rather than overly sweet, with a hint of salt.

Dry Down
Tonka bean adds almond-like warmth and toasted depth, while palo santo brings a subtle smoky woodiness. The effect is creamy, sensual, powdery and seductive: less loud than the Eau de Parfum, but deeper and more refined.
