Maison Mataha Escapade Gourmande Extrait
Description
Escapade Gourmande Extrait is a decadent caramelized-sugar gourmand that wears like warm crème brûlée melting over your skin.
Created by perfumer Vincent Ricord for the French house Maison Mataha as its debut fragrance in 2020, Escapade Gourmande is a 35% extrait built around black sugar, vanilla and tonka. Reviewers consistently describe it as elegant rather than cloying — a cozy, skin-hugging sweetness that one fan likened to melted vanilla ice cream drizzled over warm pastry.
Scent Character
- Sweet — 90%
- Woody — 10%
Translation: an unapologetically gourmand profile — caramelized sugar and vanilla up front, grounded by a soft woody-resinous base that keeps it from turning syrupy.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Black Sugar
Heart: Vanilla, Tonka Bean
Base: Benzoin, Musk
Performance
Longevity: Excellent — reviewers report all-day wear, commonly 8 to 10+ hours, with the dry-down lingering for hours on skin and even longer on clothing.
Sillage: Strong — this is a projection-forward extrait; expect a generous trail that fills a room early on.
Projection: Heavy in the opening hours, settling into a warm, intimate cocoon close to the skin as it dries down.
Best Occasions & Season
Season: Fall and Winter — the warm, sweet richness shines in cooler weather.
Occasion: Evening, leisure and nights out.
Gender: Unisex — a gourmand that reads equally well on anyone who loves sweet, comforting scents.
