Pernoire Kama is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Andreas Wilhelm. Kama opens with Birch Tar, Iris, Violet, and Blackberry, settles into a heart of Cypriol Oil or Nagarmotha, Leather, Amber, and Cotton Candy, and dries down to a base of Linen, Musk, Oakmoss, and Cashmeran. Pernoire's Kama carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Kama is a divisive one - a sweet, fruity leather that some find captivatingly chic and others, well, a bit like chicken dressing or window cleaner. It aims for mass appeal but might just miss the mark with those seeking true niche character.

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:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive nature make it suitable for casual wear and dates, though some find it too quiet for an extrait. The sweet-gourmand leaning notes bring down its formality, and its subtlety isn't ideal for sporty activities.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Opens with a sweet burst of blackberry and powdery violet, underpinned by the smoky earthiness of birch tar and orris. It then transitions to a surprising heart of candied leather and amber, given a modern twist with cypriol. The dry down is a comforting, clean blend of linen, soft musk, and cashmeran, with a hint of green oakmoss.
