Pernoire Otimo Extrait

Description

Otimo, Pernoire's “elixir of success”, opens with a sophisticated, boozy warmth of aged rum and aromatic cardamom, brightened by the tart sweetness of quince. Composed by Andreas Wilhelm and launched in 2024, reviewers have compared the rich, patisserie-like opening to Sweetie Aoud by Roja Parfums, before it settles into what one reviewer called a warm, spiced cardamom karak chai: dark, gourmand and addictive.
