Raphael – Extrait de Parfum

SORA DORA – a French niche perfume house by Quentin Soradora that tells a family story across four generations with every scent, from Antoine Soradora's emigration from Portugal to the jasmine fields of Grasse.

Raphael is spicy, floral and softly woody. Cardamom, pink pepper and rhubarb open bright and spiced, nutmeg, magnolia, iris and honeysuckle unfold at the heart into a delicate floral core, before vetiver, vanilla, white musk, cedarwood, cashmere, patchouli and ambroxan settle into a soft, woody base.

Raphael works all year round, day or night. The gender-neutral scent is an elegant signature for anyone who wants to combine spice with floral softness.

What makes Raphael special to us is its balance – spicy and floral, edgy and soft at once. A scent that refuses to be pinned down, and finds its strength exactly there.
