Bengale Rouge by Papillon is a warm amber scent, inspired by perfumer Liz Moores’ beloved Bengal cat Mimi. Bengale Rouge evokes the scent of Mimi’s warm and sunny fur. Sensual and slightly wild.
“A golden fur, swathed in sandalwood and doused in honey.
Sweet myrrh purrs behind a warm, rosy skin, misted with oakmoss and dappled in the rich shades of a leopard pelt.
A cosy, caramel comfort glows from a gourmand heart, while sweet Tonka slinks an opulent softness upon your skin.”
Inspiration behind Bengale Rouge, according to Liz Moores: “The muse for this perfume is my Bengal cat, Mimi. I have always been captivated by the beauty of her fur and her natural perfume. I didn’t want to create a literal fragrance, rather a re-imagining of the notes that lay upon her leopard coat. It was important that this perfume brought the comfort and warmth that so many of us receive from our pets, as well as do justice to Mimi’s natural elegance and grace.”

Amber
The amber fragrance family contains warm, spicy and often sensual perfume notes. Classic amber fragrances are built around an amber accord, often consisting of patchouli, benzoin, labdanum, vanilla and musk. Also, amber can refer to natural ambergris or synthetic amber, such as Ambrox or Ambroxan.
