Colors Parfums Paris Carmin des Bois is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Margaux Le Paih Guérin.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Given its enormous sillage and eternal longevity, this scent is best reserved for casual settings or dates where its playful sweetness can shine. Its powerful projection might be overwhelming in an office, and it's too gourmand for formal events or sports.

About

Carmin des Bois opens with a vibrant burst of sweet, jammy red fruits and raspberry, quickly joined by the exotic, nutty sweetness of loukhoum and pistachio, hinting at a Middle Eastern dessert. The heart unfolds into the unique, pastry-like aroma of kunafa, a toasted, rich note that grounds the fruit. As it dries, a comforting base of fluffy marshmallow, creamy vanilla, and warm tonka bean emerges, subtly blended with a hint of earthy tea and sesame, creating a sophisticated, edible warmth.
