Kévin Mathys creates new Electimuss fragrance, Caspian Cherry

Caspian Cherry is the latest scent to join Electimuss’ Explorer Collection. The fragrance is inspired by the Caspian Sea, and the treasures that it brought to the Roman Empire.

“The Caspian Sea brought treasures of all kinds to the Romans through a network of trade routes that extended in reach far beyond their lands and Anatolia. Caspian Cherry is a celebration of the sweet cherries the Romans first encountered in the region surrounding the Caspian Sea. Inspired by these new delicacies and tastes that would delight guests at Roman feasts, Caspian Cherry is a modern reimagining of the honeyed cakes and fruit tarts that Romans enjoyed at their prestigious Bacchanalian parties,“ say the brand.

The perfume was created by Kévin Mathys, who says on the creation of the fragrance, “A gourmand cherry came to my mind, but I wanted it to be dark, ripe, not overly sweet. A bit like those high luxury pastry chef desserts where the sugar is masterfully dosed, carefully counterbalanced with sour and tart ingredients.

I blended black cherry, and amaretto liquor with white and dark chocolate to create a nice bittersweet balance, and some cinnamon and tonka to bring warmth and ease into the rich woody complex accord. This is mysterious and dark, a delicate blend of vetiver, patchouli, and sandal twisted with honey and coconut to give an unexpected edge, a swirl into desire, the signature of this rich and complex cherry.”

Caspian Cherry is available now as 100ml and travel size options.
