A dessert turned into an extrait

Poka began in a kitchen: Pernoire worked with a confectioner and took the aroma, texture and balance of the sweet as a template, and the name comes from popcorn and caramel. Andreas Wilhelm composed this 2024 Extrait de Parfum for the Odus line, at 30 percent. With a perfume this edible, a sample shows quickly whether it charms or cloys.

On the skin

How it unfolds

  1. Caramel popcorn, apple pie

    Caramel popcorn comes first, with apple pie and cinnamon close behind. The sweetness is cooked and familiar, nearer to a warm kitchen than a perfume counter, and cinnamon adds a dry spiced edge so that the sugar does not sit flat.

  2. Hazelnut, apricot, resin

    Roasted hazelnut and dried apricot take over the middle once the first sweetness has settled. Hazelnut gives a toasted, slightly dry sweetness, apricot a soft, concentrated fruit, and labdanum a resinous, ambery warmth that adds depth to the whole stretch.

  3. Vanilla and cedarwood

    The base holds vanilla, musk, tonka bean and cedarwood. Vanilla and tonka keep the sweetness round and soft, musk smooths the edges, and cedarwood adds a dry wooden spine that keeps the dessert idea from turning syrupy or cloying.

Testing it

How to test it, for whom and why

How to test it

Poka is warm and dense, so a light touch on the chest or the pulse points is a fair start. Cold evenings are where the sweetness feels like comfort rather than heat. Wear it once on such an evening and once in milder weather, and pay attention to whether the cinnamon and cedarwood keep it grown-up.

Who it is for

People who already enjoy gourmand perfumes, or want to try a sweet scent with a clear idea behind it: baked, nutty, caramelised. It suits a relaxed weekend as well as an evening out. If you prefer fresh, airy or dry scents, it will feel too sweet.

Why try Pernoire Poka as a sample first

Edible perfumes divide people: some find them cosy and others find them heavy within minutes. The pyramid reads like a bakery list, and how it lands depends on your skin. A 10 ml decant lets you find out over several evenings before you take on a full 50 ml flacon.

Questions

Frequently asked

What exactly is in the decant?

10 ml of Poka Extrait de Parfum, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle into a glass spray vial and labelled by us. It is not a brand sample, and Pernoire is not involved.

Who is Poka made by?

Pernoire, an independent Swiss house, with perfumer Andreas Wilhelm. The brand says every composition is developed by its two founders together with him.

What does Odus mean here?

Odus is the name of the line Poka belongs to, made at 30 percent extrait concentration, which the brand treats as the stronger of its two lines.

Is it very sweet?

Yes, by design: caramel popcorn, apple pie, vanilla and tonka. Cinnamon, labdanum and cedarwood add some dryness and structure, so a sample shows whether that balance works for you.

The brand

About Pernoire

Pernoire is a young Swiss house: two childhood friends, Robin Dünner and Nico Mannino, founded it in 2020 and develop every composition with the perfumer Andreas Wilhelm. Each perfume is an Extrait de Parfum, at 25% in the Anima line or 30% in Odus, and each is named after an idea or its key notes: Anelo for pineapple and pomelo, Poka for popcorn and caramel. At these concentrations a few wearings from a 10 ml decant tell you whether a perfume is yours.

  • Independent Swiss house, registered in Basel, founded in 2020
  • Founders Robin Dünner and Nico Mannino work with perfumer Andreas Wilhelm
  • Extrait de Parfum only: Anima at 25% and Odus at 30% concentration

      Duarte Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !

      Rudy Review of the FragranceGems shop
    • Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.

      Henrik Review of the FragranceGems shop
