Mahina

• Cosy
• Romantic
• Evening

Mahina is comforting, with an almost tactile feel, like something creamy and warm melting on the skin. The approach is gourmand, with real elegance underneath.

From the opening, you sense an immediate softness, slightly sweet and very smooth, with an almost ‘nourishing’ feel. There is something round and silky about it that gives instant comfort. Then the fragrance moves to an even creamier, more cocooning heart, with a velvety texture that heightens its cosy side.

Over time, Mahina becomes warmer and slightly deeper. The notes take on a more sensual dimension, with a soft, musky, subtly woody base that gives structure to the whole. The drydown stays gourmand but balanced, with an elegant, long-lasting signature, between comforting softness and warmth.

Parfums D'elmar is a Swiss house founded by Elmar Métry, whose family coat of arms adorns the logo on every bottle. His original ambition was to create a house where luxury would not be a marketing promise but a material reality: the rarest ingredients, the highest concentration and the most carefully crafted object possible. The house's technical distinction lies in its 35% concentration of perfume essences, which it calls Quintessence de Parfum. Where a classic extrait de parfum ranges between 20 and 30%, Parfums D'elmar takes this logic to its limit to guarantee a presence on the skin that settles deeply and evolves over time. To compose these creations, the house teamed up with Mark Buxton, born in England, trained in Hamburg and based in Paris, a city he fell in love with more than twenty years ago. Author of the very first Comme des Garçons perfume in 1994, and having created for Givenchy, Cartier, Paco Rabanne and Le Labo, Buxton is known for his motto: 'Simplicity is the ultimate degree of luxury.' His style, made of short, concentrated formulas where every note has a reason to be there, resonates directly with Elmar Métry's high standards. The bottles themselves are cut from hand-polished crystal and topped with gold-plated caps adorned with more than 360 crystals.
