What does Masar smell like?

Masar opens with a sharp, unconventional contrast that sets the tone for a journey of "olfactory self-discovery." The initial spray hits with the zesty, bitter brightness of yuzu and a hint of ozonic...

Fragrantica

The fragrance is widely recognized for its exceptional longevity, often lasting over twelve hours on skin and remaining detectable on clothing for several days.
While the opening is praised for its unique brightness and complexity, some enthusiasts note that the drydown becomes more linear and loses some of the initial's "spark" as it settles into a warm, woody base.
It is frequently compared to high-end resinous compositions by houses like Maison Francis Kurkdjian, though it maintains a distinct identity through its specific use of yuzu and spices.
Most users recommend this strictly for cooler weather, specifically fall and winter evenings or nights out, noting that the spicy and animalic thickness can become overwhelming in high heat.
Opinions on value are generally high due to its extrait de parfum concentration and the use of natural essences, which contribute to its reputation as a "conversation starter."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Masar suitable for daily office wear?+

Generally, no. Given its heavy resinous profile and animalic base notes, it is better suited for evening events, nights out, or leisure activities in cold weather. Its sillage and boldness might be too intense for a professional business environment.

How long does the fragrance actually last?+

As an extrait de parfum with a high oil concentration, it is known for its extreme endurance. Most users report it lasting well beyond 12 hours on skin, with some reporting it stays on fabric for days after a single application.

Is Masar leaning more masculine or feminine?+

It is classified as unisex. While the leather, tobacco, and animalic notes give it a rugged quality often associated with masculine perfumery, the honey, vanilla, and tonka bean provide a sweetness that makes it wearable for anyone who enjoys bold, spicy-resinous scents.

How does the "animalic" note behave in this fragrance?+

In Masar, the animalic notes are used to provide a warm, "skin-like" depth rather than a "dirty" or "barnyard" smell. It's described as an edgy but approachable warmth that adds to the fragrance's complexity without becoming offensive.

Can this be worn in the summer?+

It is not recommended for summer. The combination of honey, amber, and leather is designed to bloom in the cold; high temperatures can make these notes feel cloying or overly heavy.

How does Masar compare to other Pernoire fragrances?+

Compared to its sibling scent Amoral, Masar is seen as woodier and spicier, whereas Amoral leans darker and more resinous. It is often described as a more "mysterious" and "spicy-fresh" alternative within the brand's lineup.
