Mauboussin Mauboussin is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Christine Nagel. Mauboussin opens with Mirabelle Plum, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Plum, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Peach, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Mauboussin's Mauboussin carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Prepare for a proper love-it-or-hate-it situation with Mauboussin. This is a bold, divisive scent that's either a deeply luxurious vintage amber-patchouli or a 'disgusting old attic' fragrance. There's no middle ground here, so sample first, if you can find it.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This is a powerhouse scent with significant sillage and longevity, making it unsuitable for an office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is key. Its rich, opulent character and 'beast-mode' performance align well with evening dates and formal events, though some find it too heavy for any occasion.

About

Mauboussin opens with a syrupy, boozy plum that’s both sweet and slightly tart, quickly giving way to a rich heart of creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, with just a hint of peach. The base is an opulent blend of warm amber, deep patchouli, and smooth sandalwood, supported by balsamic benzoin and a soft vanilla, creating a dense, complex, and long-lasting aroma with a distinctly vintage character.
