This extrait is named for the archipelagic country in the South Pacific Ocean, source of the sandalwood in the base. Vanuatu is a lively, confident blend of spices (black pepper, cardamom, cumin) dappled across characterful woody materials (sandalwood, patchouli, cedar and papyrus). Putting meat on the bones is fig milk, with violet leaves adding sharp sparkle. A fragrance for unexpected adventures.

Patchouli Monarque is truly a ruler of patchouli perfumes, thanks to the sumptuous blend of supporting materials that make this such an “ahhhhhhhhhh!” experience. Powdery heliotrope and immortelle’s hazy hay create a soft landing for the sweet leather effect of labdanum and amber. Vetiver supports patchouli’s stern earthiness, but there’s no hiding the smile of dusty cocoa that brings friendliness to the lusciousness.

In Sanskrit, “ankura” refers to the sprouting or budding of a plant. It can also signify the seed of an idea or feeling. This uplifting green chypre teases feelings into play with its sunny opening of lemon, bergamot, mint, and the honeyed spice of helichrysum flower. Oakmoss brings shade and mystery, accompanying an earthy blend of patchouli, sage and soil tincture. At its full bloom, the smoky allure of Prachinburi oud fills the soul, turning Ankura into an enchanted forest.

Perfumer: Luca Maffei

Vanhera: a dark Vanilla, an unexpected fragrance that recalls intriguing and unclear sensations. A journey around one of the most iconic perfumery’s notes. A Vanilla perfume, not the usual Vanilla fragrance where just sweet notes are emphasized. A battle, a conflict among ingredients.

In Vanhera, a Madagascar Vanilla absolute tries to find a place in a universe of ingredients that want to suppress it. Vanhera is surrounded, almost besieged, by spicy notes of pepper, cardamom, cinnamon; it is embraced by warm notes of sandalwood and cashmeran and it is stained by karmawood, timbersilk and ambery notes. Nevertheless, the Vanilla absolute arises and makes its presence felt, conquering heart and soul of whoever smells it.

The Riviera. The Mediterranean fills the horizon. You’re driving along a coastal road with the roof down, feeling free. In this extrait, lemon caviar, zesty ginger and icy cardamom puts jut in your strut, while tomato leaf, neroli and black tea summons an aromatic dance. Frankincense and cypriol offer shade in the sunshine.

Perfumer: Paul Guerlain

About Whispering Kiss by Le Persona

What makes Whispering Kiss different from these similar fragrances?
Whispering Kiss combines a distinctive oriental spicy profile with rich boozy notes of rum and cognac, alongside tobacco and vanilla, creating a warm, smoky, and complex scent. Most similar fragrances either emphasise fresher, cleaner notes or focus on smoky, fruity, or herbal facets, lacking the full boozy and tobacco depth found in Whispering Kiss.
Are these fragrances suitable for both day and evening wear?
Many fragrances similar to Whispering Kiss offer versatility, with fresher options like Santal or 005 Riviera Absolue leaning towards daywear, while richer, beastly scents like Fiesta Habana or Patchouli Monarque suit evening occasions. The choice depends on the intensity and character you prefer for different times.
Can I find a fragrance with the same spices as Whispering Kiss but without the tobacco note?
Yes, several fragrances share key spices like cardamom, ginger, and black pepper but omit tobacco. For example, Santal and Cinematic focus on spicy and woody notes without tobacco, delivering a cleaner interpretation of the oriental spicy family.
