Renier Perfumes Behique is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Christian Carbonnel. Behique opens with Magnolia, Basil, Cannabis, and Rum, settles into a heart of Cashmere Wood, Anise, Amber, and Cedar, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Tobacco. Renier Perfumes's Behique carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is divisive; some find its opening too harsh, while others are utterly enchanted by its unique, potent green character. It's a bold statement that demands confidence.

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.

Its strong sillage and long-lasting nature make it less suitable for typical office environments, as noted by reviewers. It shines in evening and special event settings where its unique and bold character can be appreciated without overwhelming.

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.

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

Behique explodes with a sharp, green opening where basil and a distinct cannabis note are quickly joined by a boozy rum and the soft spice of tobacco blossom. As it settles, a rich, earthy heart emerges with patchouli, cedar, and a hint of peppery anise, softened by amber and cashmere wood. The dry down is deep and resonant, a blend of smoky tobacco, grounding vetiver, and creamy sandalwood, creating a lasting woody, aromatic trail.
