Navitus Parfums Mahni Cassonade is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Mahni Cassonade opens with Bergamot, Vanilla, and Cashmeran, settles into a heart of Toffee, Brown Sugar, and Amberwood, and dries down to a base of Vanilla Caviar, Musk, and Amber. Navitus Parfums's Mahni Cassonade carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This one's a divisive gourmand. Some reckon it's a luscious, sophisticated vanilla dream - a grown-up dessert in a bottle. Others find it cloying, distinctly smokey, or even a bit burnt, comparing it to an ill-fated cooking attempt. Definitely not a blind buy.

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.

Its potent projection and long-lasting, heavy sweetness make it a bit much for the office but perfect for an intimate date night. For casual wear, a light hand is needed to avoid overwhelming, while its overtly gourmand nature might clash with very formal settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Mahni Cassonade opens with a burst of sweet vanilla and delicate cashmeran, hinting at what's to come. Soon, a rich heart of sticky toffee and brown sugar emerges, deepened by amberwood. The dry-down settles into a comforting base of musky vanilla caviar and warm amber, creating a decadent, enveloping sweetness with a sophisticated edge.
