Pernoire Masar is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Andreas Wilhelm. Masar opens with Yuzu, Cinnamon, Clove, and Labdanum, settles into a heart of Amber, Vanilla, Honey, and Tobacco, and dries down to a base of Leather, Animalic, Sandalwood, and Rosewood. Pernoire's Masar carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Masar by Pernoire is a deeply polarising fragrance; some find its animalic warmth intoxicating and masculine, while others are put off by a perceived synthetic sweetness and aggressive nature. Definitely not a safe blind buy, this one divides opinion sharply.

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 winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and projecting nature, with prominent animalic and leather notes, makes it unsuitable for an office environment. However, its sexy, warm, and mysterious character is perfect for dates and evening formal events, though perhaps too much for casual daytime wear.

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

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • 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

Opening with a zesty burst of yuzu alongside warm cinnamon and clove, Masar quickly deepens into a rich heart of honeyed tobacco and creamy vanilla, underscored by a resinous amber. The dry down is a complex affair of soft leather, animalic nuances, and a woody base of sandalwood and rosewood, creating a scent that is both sensual and mysterious.
