Reine de Saba Reine Makéda is a Parfum launched in 2022, created by Anne Flipo. Reine Makéda opens with Mandarin, Violet Leaf, and Ambrette, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vanilla, and Cashmeran. Reine de Saba's Reine Makéda carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent. For some, it's a beautifully blended, airy floral musk that's instantly captivating; for others, it's a generic, over-hyped, or even unpleasant experience. Try before you buy, but if it works for you, it's pure magic.

Scent Profile

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.

With moderate longevity and sillage, it's versatile enough for many settings without being overwhelming. It's often described as a 'sundress fragrance' or 'intimate,' making it perfect for dates and sophisticated casual wear, yet elegant enough for formal events.

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

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • 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

Reine Makéda opens with a bright, uplifting burst of mandarin and green violet leaf, quickly softening into a creamy floral heart. Rose, jasmine, and iris intertwine, creating a velvety, slightly powdery bouquet. As it dries, a soft, skin-like musk emerges, blended with the smooth warmth of vanilla, cashmeran, and a subtle cedar anchor, leaving an ethereal, sweet trail.
