Raïs Desert is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Maud Chabanis. Desert opens with Iris and Fig, settles into a heart of Tonka Bean and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Mineral and Ambroxan. Raïs's Desert carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, shifting from fruity-sweet to a dry, mineral amber. It's unique, but divisive - you'll either love how it captures the desert's mystery or find it a bit too stark and unusual for everyday wear.

About

Desert opens with a surprising flourish of sweet, jammy fig countered by the cool, powdery subtlety of iris. This quickly deepens into a warm, inviting heart where creamy tonka bean blends with the smoky, spiritual whisper of frankincense. The base firmly anchors the scent with an unusual mineral accord, evoking hot sand and dry earth, amplified by the diffusive, modern hum of ambroxan. It's a journey from fruity brightness to a dry, amber-woody finish, with iris weaving throughout.
