Anelo – 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.

Anelo smells fruity-citrus and dryly amber at once – a scent like tropical fruit freshly cut in the midday sun. Freshly cut pineapple, pomelo and mandarin open it juicy and zesty, mango, ginger and magnolia come together at the heart into a warm, faintly spiced fruit picture, before dry amber, vetiver and patchouli settle into an earthy, dry base.

Anelo works best in spring and summer and suits the day. The unisex scent feels bright and easygoing without ever turning saccharine.

What makes Anelo special to us is exactly that dry finish: where most tropical-fruit scents end in coconut or vanilla, Anelo stays dusty and amber right to the end, which makes it more interesting to us than most fruit bombs in its category.
