Karat EG

Nostalgic, hopeful, budding

The mare of spring seasons. Karat EG arrived when everything was beginning again — a rose of a horse, elegant and a little wild, forever associated with first blooms at the rail.

Karat EG embodies nostalgia for moments in our past, and the bright hopefulness for the future.

The Wear

A scent in three acts

It opens

Fresh turned earth — the paddock after rain.

It turns

An intoxicatingly dirty Turkish rose blooms against carrot heart.

It settles

Patchouli and amber — spring's promise kept close to the skin.

The Nose

Carlos Benaïm

“The art of perfume is in the olfactory image — the lingering impression left in the air after its wearer has left the room.”

One of the living legends of modern perfumery. Son of a pharmacist who distilled plants and flowers, Carlos' earliest recollections are the smells of Tangiers. Composing in four dimensions, he is an architect of the conceptual.

“Rotano and Karat EG — scents of wonder.”

Wear it, too

Karat EG keeps its own company — the candle, the ritual, the rest of the collection.
