Kama Carnal

Coconut water brings a fresh dewy creaminess that feels sun-kissed and exotic. The uplifting orange with sweet, green and zesty accords and the solar qualities of the top notes, marry the creamy floral heart.

Inspired by texts exploring sensuality, love and carnal desires, like the poem of Meghaduta, perfumer Nelly Hachem-Ruiz, imagined lovers meeting under a full moon by a lake of lotus flowers.

She played with the purity and delicacy of jasmine and neroli embracing sensuous ylang-ylang. The white florals bring fresh bright florality with green top notes and fruity, spicy and slightly animalic accords. The hero of this perfume is the seductive ylang-ylang. This exotic and warm floral has a spicy, fruity top, wintergreen facets and its warm, solar quality ends with creamy deep balsamic notes. Known for its aphrodisiac qualities, it brings an opulent sensuality.

The honeyed warmth of resinous benzoin brings depth and complexity to the vanilla. The addictive gourmet facets become skin-like and seductive with cashmeran. Finally, the mossy, earthy woody patchouli oil LMR lends a leathery carnal undertone.

This vivid and creamy floral perfume is a magnetic and exotic ode to sensuality.

“As the full moon rises, dispelling the darkness, the jasmine flowers unfold and lotus flowers tremble on the water in the gentle breeze as lovers meet”

Kama is the god of desire, not just sensual but also spiritual, poetic, and deeply human. He is the inspiration behind the rich tradition of Sanskrit text and poetry exploring the art of living and loving, where sensuality, intimacy, beauty and love are sacred expressions of the soul’s longing.

One poem, Kalidasa’s Meghaduta (The Cloud Messenger), speaks of a yearning so intense it sends the hero’s message of love riding on a cloud across landscapes and seasons. Kalidasa describes landscapes bathed in moonlight, often combining water, light, and longing like lakes filled with lotuses, glowing in the moonlight, the inspirational image behind the perfume.

Kama Carnal explores that deep ache, the intimate language of skin and soul, distance and desire.
