Christian Carbonnel a.k.a. Chris Maurice

Der spanische Meisterparfümeur Christian Carbonnel, bekannt als Chris Maurice, entstammt einer der angesehensten Parfümeursfamilien Spaniens. Seine Geschichte begann im Jahr 1925, als sein Großvater, ein französischer Parfümeur, nach Spanien zog, um ätherische Öle zu kreieren und die traditionsreiche Manufaktur Carbonnel zu gründen. Heute, fast ein Jahrhundert später, führt Christian in dritter Generation das Unternehmen und bewahrt das wertvolle Familienerbe.

Laylati Afgano Puro

Blue Suede Shoes

Catalog · 12

All compositions

cin·hon·swe·sof

Parfums d'Elmar · 2022

Zaya

A cinnamon-and-apple opening — the apple sweet rather than crisp, the cinnamon warm enough to push it toward a baked-pastry register.

amb·woo·flo·van

Xerjoff · 2016

Purple Accento

Purple Accento opens with pineapple alongside bergamot — a tropical-citrus frame that signals approachability within the house's usual register.

The Nose Behind

Purple Flamingo

Killer Instinct

Xerjoff · 2011

Laylati Afgano Puro

Laylati Afgano Puro opens with a green, herbal register — undisclosed botanically, but unmistakably organic, something between vegetation and resin.

yel·flo·whi·fre

Marc Gebauer · 2023

Amorist

Magnolia comes forward first, cool and lemony in that recognisable way, with a bergamot lift that clarifies the opening without sharpening it.

iri·flo·pow·whi

Marc Gebauer · 2024

Purple Flamingo

Purple Flamingo opens with a bright citrus-floral burst: bergamot and grapefruit cut through orange blossom, while iris adds a cool, powdery edge from the first spray.

lav·bal·amb·aro

Roberto Ugolini · 2019

Blue Suede Shoes

Lavender and bergamot open with a clean fougère snap—lavender's herbal-floral edge meeting bergamot's citrus brightness.

fre·fru·aqu·mos

The Nose Behind · 2022

Kobe Gardens

A bright opening — apple, mint, and grapefruit together, with bergamot brightening further.

bal·war·cin·sof

II-II Mandala

Frankincense and nutmeg open with a resinous, slightly medicinal sharpness that reads as ceremonial rather than cozy.

cin·war·vio·pat

The Nose Behind · 2022

Royal Dubai

Royal Dubai opens with a sharp clash of cinnamon and black pepper, the ylang-ylang adding a waxy, almost tropical sweetness underneath.

iri·pow·flo·woo

The Nose Behind · 2022

Avenue Montaigne

Iris and rose open the composition with a refined, slightly cool floral pairing, the iris adding a powdery dust that pulls the rose toward something more reserved than romantic.

oud·lav·aro·woo

Marc Gebauer · 2024

Killer Instinct

Oud and grapefruit open together in an unusual pairing — the resinous darkness of the oud is cut by citrus brightness, creating a tense, almost electric first impression.

rum·hon·tro·swe

The Nose Behind · 2022

Miami South Beach

The opening is unmistakable — rum splashed over a clary sage herbal lift, the rum boozy and slightly sweet, the sage giving the warmth an aromatic edge that prevents the composition from going purely tropical.
