The fragrance that immerses us in the heart of the Niassa plains

Belle de Niassa testifies to the power of olfactory memory through the story of a quest to northern Mozambique, in a stunning natural setting, to find and recreate the bewitching scent of the mahogany flower.

For the first time in perfumery, the scent of the mahogany flower is transcribed in a sumptuous soliflore fragrance, where the power of white flowers is softened by the juicy freshness of star fruit.

A soliflore mahogany flower

A soliflore mahogany flower

Jean JACQUES has incorporated exceptional ingredients to transcribe the opulent white flower facet of the mahogany flower. A duo of jasmines, one full-bodied and sensual, the other petal-like and fruity, blossoms alongside a highly rare ylang ylang. To convey the green and exotic facet, he combines the crisp freshness of star fruit and juicy watermelon, with essence of magnolia flower. This exotic, just-ripe fruity sensation is enriched by tangy notes of blackcurrant and a green mango accord

An olfactory emotion

Ariane de ROTHSCHILD has a strong attachment to Africa and its fabulous fragrances. The blossoming of the mahogany flower, which takes place every year between October and November, is a magical moment for her. She has invited Jean JACQUES, CARON’s in-House perfumer, to have this marvellous experience and discover this opulent fragrance. To breathe in the flower’s fragrance at the very moment it blooms. To retain it. To then recreate it, preserve it forever. And relive, intact, this emotion.

“Dedicating a soliflore fragrance to the mahogany flower’s scent is a first in perfumery. This unique exercise testifies to the audacity of CARON and its curiosity and openness with the world.”

Invisible at first glance, ephemeral, it reserves its scent for a select group, those lucky enough to enjoy it between October and November, at the very moment it blooms. The branches of the mahogany tree are covered with a multitude of small majestic flowers, each possessing a single, bright pink petal. The dry air is full of the solar and powerful scent of white fIowers. It is addictive and captivating, impossible to escape. To discover it and appreciate all its facets requires a knowledgeable guide and a lot of patience.

 The secrets of the Niassa reserve

The secrets of the Niassa reserve

Sheltered in dark brown beans, the the mahogany seeds have a bright red tip that hornbills, large wild birds with orange beaks, simply love. It is thus very rare to find a seed that is still intact. Discovering one with its red part is a sign of good luck. Hence its nickname, Lucky Bean Tree.
