- Key notes:
- coconut
- green leaves
- sandalwood
- Aromagroups:
- green
- woody
Perfumer: Chris Bartlett.
The Elephant’s formula has a fresh air nuance and violet leaves in the opening. The heart layer is sandalwood highlighted with ambery kohinool material and the base has accords of chocolate and coconut milk, both used to enhance effect of sandalwood rather than turn fragrance into a gourmand.
Fun fact: Elephant was originally meant to be a spicy chai and sandalwood fragrance to represent India. The sandalwood idea stayed, but the idea of elephants in their habitation led to the green, fresh and leafy top instead.

The dirt road is bumpy, glowing red in the fiery sunset. The truck lumbers through Mediterranean farmland, kicking up dust at every turn. You put your hand out the passenger window, experiencing the dry heat of summer and the rich smell of figs. Pulling into the grove, you fill your mouth with sticky figs. The driver takes you by the hand and you start running towards the sounds of laughter and music. There are flamenco guitars, dancing, milky cocktails. You spin around and around until the colours of the crowd swirl into infinity.
Perfumer: Joëlle Lerioux Patris
About Creme Brûlée by Theodoros Kalotinis
- How does Creme Brûlée differ from the fragrances listed here?
- Creme Brûlée uniquely combines coconut and vanilla with burnt sugar and caramel, creating a rich, gourmand profile. Most fragrances listed share coconut and sometimes vanilla but differ by emphasising florals, fruit, woods, or fresh notes instead of the caramelised sweetness.
- Are these fragrances suitable for warm weather?
- Several options here, particularly those with fresher, floral, or fruity notes like Bain de Midi, Fawaki Fawaki, and Ambrosia, are lighter and more suitable for warm weather. Heavier, resinous or gourmand scents may feel richer and better suited to cooler conditions.
- Can I find a fragrance here that highlights vanilla like Creme Brûlée?
- Yes, Bain de Midi, Fawaki Fawaki, and Le Grand Jeu prominently feature vanilla alongside coconut, offering a creamy, sweet character reminiscent of Creme Brûlée’s vanilla note, though without the burnt sugar and caramel.
