Pavilion – Extrait de Parfum

Andrea Maack – Icelandic niche perfumery from the visual artist of the same name, who has been bringing art, fashion and fragrance together since her first scent exhibition in 2010.

Pavilion is warm, golden and opulent – the glow of the northern lights over a dark landscape. A praline accord, honey and saffron open sweet and spicy, rose and patchouli sit at the heart, before vanilla, amber and an oud accord settle into a deep, sensual base.

Pavilion is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening – dinners, the opera, festive days. Gender-neutral and an opulent signature scent for anyone seeking warmth and depth.

Rose and oud are a familiar duo, but Pavilion places something in front of them that we rarely come across: praline and honey. Julien Rasquinet does not turn it into icing – it becomes a golden warmth that carries rose and oud. Opulent, yes, but with a surprising sense of calm.
