Pernoire Otimo is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Andreas Wilhelm. Otimo opens with Quince, Cardamom, and Rum, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, Tobacco, and Praline, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Osmanthus, and Vanilla. Pernoire's Otimo carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Otimo is a polarising gourmand that splits opinion between those who love its rich, sweet depth and others who find its execution clunky or even unpleasant. Try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role in its development.

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.

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.

About

Otimo opens with a boozy, fruity hit of rum and quince, spiced up with cardamom. This quickly transitions into a rich, edible heart of praline, tobacco, and tonka, grounded by earthy patchouli. The dry down offers a smooth embrace of vanilla and cedar, with the subtle floral nuance of osmanthus peeking through, creating a deeply comforting and decadent experience.
