Beso Canalla by Beso Beach £145.00
- Key notes:
- amber
- brown sugar
- caramel
- labdanum
- neroli
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- edible

It’s a delectable amber with focus on the gourmand aspect of that ancient perfume recipe. Usually, an amber mix would require a resin (labdanum, benzoin, etc.), patchouli and vanilla. In Beso Canalla this sweet component often represented and highlighted by vanilla was extended to many dimensions. It starts with gently sweet bergamot, descends into caramelized a sugar accord in the heart and dries down into a sweet sandalwood and amber amalgamation.
In the Beso perfume trilogy this formula represents the relaxed afternoon when you have had your early morning swim and are now gathering energies for the night out ahead (chilling in the sweet shade with an ice cold orangeade, feet buried in warm sand).

This fragrance is a tribute to the beauty of Madagascan vanilla — one of the finest vanillas in the world. Mafonja means “intense” (as in power or strength) in Malagasy.
It opens with a breath of fleur de sel, evoking salt-kissed skin. A soft heat follows, as cinnamon, pink pepper (Mauritius), and nutmeg wrap the senses in warmth. Ylang-ylang (Comoros) lends a creamy, luminous floral note. As the scent deepens, a darker story unfolds: resinous myrrh (Somalia) and olibanum (Somalia) melt into dark amber.

About Call Me By Your Name by Julianna's Perfume
- How does Call Me By Your Name differ from these similar fragrances?
- Call Me By Your Name combines oriental vanilla with rich cocoa and a balanced blend of amber, musk, and floral notes like jasmine. It maintains a smooth gourmand character with subtle spiciness from pink pepper. Other fragrances may emphasise smokier, fresher, or sweeter facets, or introduce additional accords like coffee, caramel, or sea salt, creating varied interpretations of the oriental vanilla style.
- What should I consider if I want a fragrance close to Call Me By Your Name but less sweet?
- Look for fragrances that share the amber and spice elements but have fewer sugary or gourmand notes such as brown sugar or caramel. Options with more incense, tobacco, or vetiver can provide a drier, smokier experience, while still reflecting aspects of the original scent.
- Are these fragrances suitable for both day and evening wear?
- Many fragrances with oriental vanilla profiles, including those listed here, can transition well from day to evening depending on concentration and application. Fresher or lighter versions with citrus or floral accents may feel more appropriate for daytime, while richer, sweeter, or spicier compositions often suit evening occasions.
