Sweet TemptationGourmand Floral Extrait de Parfum

Sweet Temptation by Karakash is a floral, gourmand, and woody unisex perfume extract, created by Émilie Bouge. Sugarcane framed by wood and spices.

Twelve fragrances, seven perfumers, one single year

Karakash Perfume is a Turkish haute parfumerie house, and its history has this unique feature: all twelve of its fragrances were launched in the same year, 2023 — a complete collection from the very beginning. Even rarer: these twelve creations are signed by seven different noses — Mohammad Tammam Mando, Jean-Michel Santorini, Amandine Galliano, Marc Zini, Marie Huguenot, Laure-Leta Jacquet, and Émilie Bouge. The bottles are sculptural, and the house's narrative revolves around self-preparation and confidence.

An opening of rose, coriander, and pink pepper

Rose opens the composition, accompanied by bergamot. Coriander brings its peppery greenness, and pink pepper its bright berry: two spices from the very first minute, for a flower that could have been merely sweet.

A heart of sugarcane and peony

Sugarcane occupies the heart, but it is never there alone: cedarwood dries it out, nutmeg spices it, and peony gives it a fresh, watery floral quality.

A base of patchouli and dry woods

Patchouli brings damp earth, the dry woods provide structure, vanilla adds a measured sweetness, and musk provides longevity. The base extends the heart without adding anything more to the sugar.

The house's signature touch

Sugarcane is framed, never left alone. It is an ingredient that is easily made cloying: placed in the heart, it is held in check here by cedar and nutmeg, with two spices already established in the opening. The fragrance thus lives up to the promise of its name — a sweet temptation — without ever becoming confectionery.

For whom, and for what occasions?

Floral, gourmand, and woody, this extract is for those who love gourmand florals and are looking for a sweetness held in check by wood. All year round, by day or by night. It is the most balanced of the twelve.

With Sweet Temptation Karakash, the sugar is never left alone for a single second.
