Pernoire | Kama | Extrait de Parfum
Kama is a hypnotically seductive, hyper-conceptual fragrance from the Swiss high-luxury house Pernoire, composed by perfumer Andreas Wilhelm. Named after the Sanskrit word for desire, and inspired by Kamadeva, the deity of erotic love who strikes the heart with honey-dipped arrows, the fragrance is an olfactory exploration of pure, unfiltered attraction and physical surrender. It contrasts sweet playfulness with smoky mystery. It opens with a striking, dark canopy of juicy wild blackberries interlocked with the intensely smoky, burnt-wood edge of birch tar, all softened by a sophisticated, powdery veil of violet and precious orris root. It tells a story of deep, magnetic temptation, shifting into an addictive heart of spun cotton candy, rich leather, and resinous cypriol before anchoring itself on an opulent, velvety base of cashmere wool, earthy moss, and a massive, warm skin-musk baseline.
