Pavilion
Pavilion by Andrea Maack is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with praline, honey and saffron, moves into rose and patchouli and dries down to vanilla, amber and oud. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Praline Caramelised nuts. Sweet, toasty and very moreish.
- Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.
- Saffron Leathery, medicinal and slightly metallic. The signature of modern niche.
Heart
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
Dry-down
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
