Kama – Extrait de Parfum

PERNOIRE – a Swiss niche perfume label from Basel, founded in 2020 by childhood friends Nico Mannino and Robin Dünner and composed together with perfumer Andreas Wilhelm.

Kama smells leathery-sweet with a smoky contrast – a scent like cotton candy next to a leather workshop. Blackberry, birch tar, violet and orris root open it smoky and fruity, cotton candy, leather, cypriol and dry amber come together at the heart into a sweet, leathery picture, before moss, cashmere wool and musk settle into a soft, powdery base.

Kama works best in autumn and in the evening. The unisex scent makes a playfully dark signature scent that carries its sweet and its rough side at once.

What makes Kama special to us is exactly this contrast: the childlike sweetness of cotton candy next to smoky birch tar and leather – two worlds that sit side by side here without ever resolving into one.
