Maison Mataha Évasion Bonbon is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Olivier Maurel. Évasion Bonbon opens with Marshmallow, Strawberry, and Caramel, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk and Vanilla. Maison Mataha's Évasion Bonbon carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive one. For some, it's a nostalgic, photorealistic strawberry candy dream; for others, it's a cloying, synthetic nightmare of cough syrup and artificial fruit. Definitely not a safe blind buy.

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

Its potent sweetness and moderate sillage make it a bit much for the office. It's perfectly suited for casual outings or a fun date night, leaning into its playful, youthful character. It's too overtly sweet for formal settings or sports.

About

Évasion Bonbon kicks off with a massive hit of super-sweet strawberry and sticky caramel, instantly conjuring up images of hard candies or fizzy soda. As it settles, a creamy blend of jasmine and ylang-ylang attempts to soften the edges, but the intense candy vibe rarely lets up. The dry down is a playful, sugary mix of vanilla and a light musk, maintaining that youthful, edible sweetness from start to finish.
