L'évolution du parfum
Perla Maya opens with a bright and spicy light, where the freshness of Lime is spiked by Pink Berries. Very quickly, the opulent heart of the fragrance takes its place. Tuberose, sensual and solar, unfolds its creamy facets, magnified by the exotic warmth of Ylang-Ylang and the powdery softness of Mimosa. Hours later, the trail melts onto the skin in an addictive whisper, where the milky caress of Sandalwood is intertwined with the balmy and sensual warmth of Vanilla.
The vibrant spirit of Yucatán. A burst of zesty, tangy freshness that kicks things off. It's the note that snaps and awakens the senses, evoking the lively flavors of the peninsula.
Origine & récolte
Our journey takes us to the sun-drenched orchards of Veracruz, where farmers harvest the lemons while still green to maximize the concentration of essential oil. It's a story of expertise, where the precise moment of harvest determines the quality of the essence.
History & Origins
Originally from Asia, the lime has found its ideal environment in Latin America, and more specifically in Mexico, which is the world's leading producer. It is a cornerstone of local culture and gastronomy.

Under the Veracruz sun, the fruit is bursting with life. Its pressed zest, a promise of endless celebration. A sparkling freshness, pure energy, The first chord of a wild symphony.
I worked with this lime essential oil, obtained by expression, to preserve all its vibrancy. Unlike distilled essential oil, it retains that freshly squeezed zest sensation, essential for the 'cocktail' effect and to energize the floral bouquet.
For Perla Maya, we needed a beginning that evokes the harsh light of Mexico. Lime, with its bitterness and vibrancy, was obvious. It's the freshness that contrasts with the heat of the solar flowers.

Also called 'Pink Pepper', this ingredient is not a pepper at all. It's a berry that brings a spicy, fresh, peppery and slightly floral note. It's the spark that ignites the fragrance.
Origine & récolte
Our journey takes us to the Peruvian highlands, where Schinus molle grows wild. Harvesting the pink berry clusters is a delicate process, carried out manually by local communities possessing ancestral expertise in knowing the ideal time to pick for optimal quality.
History & Origins
The "false pepper" (Schinus molle) is a tree native to South America. Its berries were used by the Incas for their medicinal properties and in their ritual drinks. They were introduced to Europe as a decorative spice before attracting perfumers.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
Long used as simple culinary decoration, pink berries have become a choice ingredient in fine perfumery since the 1990s, bringing a new spicy freshness, different from traditional spices.
The Benefits of the Matter
In traditional Andean medicine, pink berries are used for their anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties, and to relieve rheumatism.
Impact
The cultivation of this hardy tree helps combat soil erosion in the arid regions of the Andes.
On the high plateaus of the Andes, a sacred tree. Its pink berries, a peppery and delicate treasure. A surprising freshness, a refined spice, The joyful pungency of a brilliance.
I used supercritical CO2 extraction for the pink berries. This technique yields an exceptionally pure extract, perfectly capturing the pungent and fruity sensation of the fresh berry, without the heavier notes of traditional distillation.
Pink berries bring the unexpected twist in the top notes. They extend the freshness of the lime while introducing the spicy theme of the fragrance. It's an elegant and modern note.

The most carnal flower in the perfumer's palette. Tuberose is a white flower with a narcotic, opulent and creamy fragrance. It possesses a fascinating duality, with solar, almost coconut facets, and greener, camphoraceous notes and a captivating animality.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the state of Tamil Nadu. Harvesting takes place from dawn to mid-morning. Women walk through the fields, delicately picking the flower buds that will open during the day, releasing their intoxicating fragrance. The flowers are then transported to the factory to be processed the same day, so as not to lose any of their olfactory richness.
History & Origins
Originally from Mexico, tuberose (Polianthes tuberosa) was cultivated by the Aztecs. Introduced to Europe in the 16th century, it fascinated royal courts. Legend has it that during the Renaissance, young girls were forbidden to stroll through tuberose gardens in the evening, as its fragrance was considered aphrodisiac and unsettling.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
The quintessential flower of seduction, tuberose has graced some of history's greatest perfumes, such as 'Fracas' by Piguet. Today, it continues to fascinate perfumers who reinterpret it in modern creations, exploring all its facets, from the most innocent to the most venomous.

Working with tuberose is like sculpting a precious material. You have to master its power so it doesn't become overwhelming. I sought to exalt its creamy and solar notes, combining them with the softness of ylang-ylang and sandalwood, while retaining just enough of its initial greenness to keep it vibrant and alive.
Tuberose is the heart of Perla Maya. It's a flower that doesn't lie, it's opulent, solar and incredibly sensual. We chose an absolute from India for its richness and warmth, which evokes skin warmed by the Yucatán sun. It's the fragrance of a modern goddess.

The flower of flowers". Ylang-Ylang is the quintessential sunny flower. Its fragrance is an explosion of tropical sensuality, with heady floral notes, ripe banana fruity facets, and a creamy, spicy warmth.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to Anjouan Island. At sunrise, women with precise movements gather the star-shaped yellow flowers, one by one. Witnessing this ballet is to understand the preciousness of each drop of essential oil.
History & Origins
Native to Southeast Asia, Ylang-Ylang was introduced to the Indian Ocean islands at the beginning of the 20th century. The Comoros quickly became the world's leading producer of high-quality oil, thanks to unique fractional distillation expertise.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
Traditionally used in hair ointments in Indonesia, Ylang-Ylang is now a mainstay of luxury perfumery, renowned for its role in iconic perfumes such as Chanel N°5.

On volcanic earth where time stretches, The star flower exhales a languid sigh. Humid heat, heavy air, promise of desire, Ylang-Ylang is a journey, a slow pleasure.
Ylang-Ylang is the ideal partner for tuberose. It shares its sunny signature but with a spicy (clove) and slightly medicinal facet that gives it relief. My work was to use it to amplify the 'sun-warmed skin' aspect of the fragrance, creating a floral heart of extreme opulence and sensuality.
Ylang-Ylang is Perla Maya's touch of exotic sunshine. We chose a 'Complete' quality from the Comoros, sourced by Behave Sourcing for its richness and ethical commitment. It brings that solar warmth and creamy roundness that envelops the tuberose and makes it even more addictive.
The information is given for guidance only. A perfume is a cosmetic product. Ylang-Ylang essential oil contains potentially allergenic compounds.
The soft gold of winter. Mimosa offers a fragrance of unparalleled powdery softness and texture. Its notes are green, honeyed, with a facet reminiscent of cucumber and almond. It's a delicate and comforting note, bringing a touch of light and naturalness.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to the Mimosa Route in the middle of winter. The harvest is physical work, where the branches laden with golden pom-poms are cut by hand. They are then quickly processed to extract the absolute, a waxy substance with an intense fragrance.
History & Origins
Originally from Australia, the mimosa (Acacia dealbata) was introduced to the French Riviera in the 19th century. It adapted so well that it created the Tanneron forest massif, the largest mimosa forest in Europe. It has become a symbol of the region.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
Emblematic flower of the French Riviera's flower parades, mimosa is a precious raw material in perfumery, used for its powdery and honeyed notes in luxury floral and oriental compositions.

Mimosa absolute is a very delicate material. It has this very characteristic green and cucumber facet that must be tamed. I used it to bring a powdery texture and a 'pollen' effect to the floral heart, giving it a very natural and less formal feel.
Mimosa is Perla Maya's touch of sweetness and light. It brings a powdery texture and a naturalness that balance the opulence of tuberose and ylang-ylang. It's the scent of winter sun on the French Riviera, a note full of hope and tenderness.

The wood of serenity. Sandalwood offers a woody fragrance of unique softness and smoothness, with milky, creamy and comforting facets. It is an exceptional fixative that brings unparalleled richness and roundness to a composition.
Origine & récolte
It's a human adventure, an encounter with the Kanak communities for whom sandalwood is a legacy. It's the story of a trust agreement, where a company commits itself for decades, in exchange for access to a resource managed according to local customs and wisdom.
History & Origins
Used for millennia in India, Mysore sandalwood (*Santalum album*) has fallen victim to its own success. Overexploitation has led to the development of sustainable farming practices, notably in New Caledonia with the endemic species *Santalum austrocaledonicum*, managed in partnership with the Kanak tribes.
Uses of Yesterday and Today
From sacred wood for rituals in the Orient, sandalwood has become a luxury ingredient in the Occident. Today, thanks to sustainable supply chains, natural sandalwood is experiencing a true renaissance in perfumery.

The black gold of perfumery. Far from the sugary image, vanilla absolute is a raw material of incredible richness and complexity. It unfolds warm, balsamic, leathery, smoky and spicy notes, with a gourmand facet that is never cloying.
Origine & récolte
The journey takes us to northeastern Madagascar. Vanilla cultivation is a work of infinite patience: each flower is pollinated by hand, then it takes 9 months for the pod to ripen. Then come the complex stages of scalding, sweating and drying, which last for months and develop the vanilla aroma. It's an ancestral and precious know-how.
History & Origins
Vanilla is the fruit of an orchid native to Mexico, where it was used by the Aztecs to flavour their cocoa drink. Its cultivation was exported to Madagascar in the 19th century, where a young slave, Edmond Albius, discovered the process of manual pollination, which is still used today.
Then and Now Uses
The world's most popular spice, vanilla is a mainstay in perfumery, particularly in the oriental family. It brings roundness, warmth, and tenacity to compositions.
The Benefits of the Matter
In aromatherapy, vanilla is used for its relaxing and antidepressant properties. Its fragrance is known to calm stress, combat insomnia and bring a feeling of comfort.

Notes de Tête : En général, les familles héspéridées (agrumes), aromatiques (ex: Orange, Yuzu, Eucalyptus). Elles présentent une intensité très élevée à 0H, qui chute rapidement après quelques heures. C'est le comportement attendu pour ces notes volatiles qui définissent la première impression du parfum.
Notes de Cœur : En général, les familles florales, épicées ou fruitées (ex: Feuille de Figuier, Fleur de Cerisier, Tubéreuse). Leur intensité est modérée au début, atteint un pic vers 6H, puis diminue progressivement. Elles constituent le caractère et le thème principal du parfum.
Notes de Fond : En général, les familles boisées, ambrées, cuirées ou chyprées (ex: Vétiver, Vanille, Santal, Patchouli) : Elles commencent avec une intensité faible, qui augmente et se stabilise pour devenir dominante après 12H et 24H. Elles forment le sillage et assurent la longévité du parfum.
