Maison Mataha

Maison Mataha is a Paris-based niche perfume house founded in 2020 by a perfume-loving couple and collectors who set out to create their ideal dark, intense vanilla scent. According to the brand’s own story, the line began as a response to an “obsession” and an unmet desire for a particular style of vanilla that did not exist on the market. That search led to their debut release, Escapade Gourmande, composed by perfumer Vincent Ricord in collaboration with CPL Aromas.

Escapade Gourmande, built around black sugar, vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin and musk, quickly became the brand’s signature and defined its direction toward rich gourmand compositions. Subsequent launches such as Brownie Pop, Evasion Bonbon, Peche Velours and Printemps Blanc expand that theme with edible accords like caramel, strawberry candy, popcorn, chocolate and biscuit, frequently contrasted with florals such as orange blossom, jasmine sambac, violet and tuberose. The fragrances are crafted in France and emphasize strong trail and lasting power, a point highlighted by stockists who note the founders’ focus on sillage and longevity.

By 2025, the collection had grown to at least five publicly discussed scents plus a newer release, Cafe des Delices, all consistently centered on gourmand accords. Retailers in Europe and the US list the line at a unified price point near 190 EUR for full bottles, placing Maison Mataha firmly in the niche luxury segment while keeping a compact, tightly focused catalog.
