Ilhabela

by Jean-Claude Ellena

Le Couvent Maison de Parfum Ilhabela is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. Ilhabela opens with Mandora, Almond, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Vanilla and Heliotrope, and dries down to a base of Sugar Cane and Ambroxan. Le Couvent Maison de Parfum's Ilhabela carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. It's got that intoxicating sweetness that'll draw you in, but it can turn on you without warning, flipping from 'love it' to 'can't stand it' in a flash. Not a blind buy, but worth sniffing out for its unique, almost cyberpunk vibe.

While its sweet and amber nature leans more towards evening and casual settings, its sophisticated sweetness allows for formal wear. It's too rich and distinctive for active wear, and its intensity might be too much for an office environment, as some find it can become 'too much at times'.

About

Ilhabela opens with a surprising metallic sweetness, hinting at the mandora and a subtle almond crunch, though the almond doesn't stick around for everyone. The heart swells with an addictive, almost salivating vanilla, given an airy lift by heliotrope. It settles into a warm, amber base of ambroxan and sugary cane, evoking sun-drenched beaches with a sophisticated, slightly nutty warmth.
