Ma Bête
Ma Bête by ERIS Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. The house lists its notes as aldehydes, neroli, nutmeg, cypriol, styrax, sambac jasmine, virginia cedarwood and patchouli, without saying which you smell first. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Listed notes
- Aldehydes Fizzy, soapy, slightly waxy. The 'sparkle' at the top of Chanel No. 5.
- Neroli Distilled orange blossom. Green, soapy and elegant.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
- Sambac Jasmine Greener, more tea-like jasmine. Less indolic than grandiflorum.
- Virginia Cedarwood The pencil-shaving one specifically. Dry, sharp and slightly sweet.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
