Yuma – 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.

Yuma is cool, clear and warmly woody. Swiss mint, peppermint, yuzu and bergamot open bright like a first breath in the mountains, an alpine air accord, edelweiss, ginger and cashmeran meet at the heart, before dry amber, vetiver, musk and patchouli settle into a soft, woody base.

Yuma is at its best in spring and summer and during the day. The unisex scent comes along to the office, on travels and anywhere you need a clear head.

What makes Yuma special to us is the mint: Pernoire doesn't let it simply fade away but anchors it in edelweiss and dry amber – creating a mountain morning that stays on your skin. A Swiss fragrance that smells of Switzerland.
