The fragrance that plunges you into the heart of the Niassa plains 

Belle de Niassa is a testament to the power of olfactory memory as it tells the story of the discovery and recovery of the enchanting aroma of mahogany flowers in the breathtaking natural beauty of northern Mozambique . Jean JACQUES, perfumer at Caron, offers for the first time, through this fragrance, the scent of the mahogany flower in a sumptuous soliflore where the power of the white flowers is softened by the juicy freshness of the carambola.

Olfactory description:

Côté Fleurs Blanches:

This jasmine essence, harvested in India, brings floral richness and exotic sensuality to the composition. Sambac jasmine, also from India, adds a bewitching, sophisticated dimension with its warm, opulent floral notes. Ylang-ylang, from Madagascar, contributes to the softness and voluptuousness of the fragrance with its floral and sweet accords.

Côté Carambole :

Carambola brings an exotic, fruity touch to the fragrance, with its slightly tart, refreshing notes. Chinese magnolia flower essence complements the carambola with its delicate floral nuances and light spring freshness, while green mango completes the fruity accord with its tropical sweetness and refreshing character.

CARON is a renowned French perfume house founded in 1904 by Ernest Daltroff. Its history is rich in creativity and innovation in the perfume industry.

Ernest Daltroff was a passionate and visionary perfumer. The story goes that the creation of CARON was influenced by a romantic encounter with a woman named Félicie Wanpouille, who became his muse and source of inspiration. Félicie Wanpouille played a key role in the success of the perfume house, working closely with Daltroff to create innovative fragrances.

CARON is famous for its luxurious fragrances and elegant bottles. One of its most iconic fragrances is "Narcisse Noir", launched in 1911, which has become a timeless classic of French perfumery. The fragrance was created in honour of Félicie Wanpouille, who was a great lover of narcissus.

Over the decades, CARON has continued to create innovative fragrances and to expand its product range to include women's and men's perfumes, body care products and other scented accessories.

CARON is also known for its commitment to the art of traditional perfumery. It has preserved and perpetuated artisanal manufacturing methods and perfume composition techniques dating back to its beginnings, enabling it to maintain the quality and authenticity of its creations.
