History
Miksado, whose name evokes mixing in Esperanto, lives up to its title: it is a perfume of assembly, where Vanina Muracciole fuses fruit, spice and precious woods. The house brochure calls it a perfume of pure addiction, a phrase that states the program.
Up top, bergamot, labdanum and saffron tie a resinous, leathery entrance. The heart assembles cedar, geranium and guaiac, three woods that give the perfume its spine. The base marries patchouli, vanilla and the enigmatic musks for a warm, gourmand fall.
A member of the first 2015 wave, Miksado was one of the perfumes that got the young house noticed. Specialist press, including CaFleureBon, dwelled on this dense, addictive writing, typical of the way Jeroboam stacks wood and musk in a concentrated format.

Olfactory profile
Miksado opens on a resinous entrance: labdanum and saffron lay down, from the start, an ambery, leathery material that bergamot barely brightens. You know at once the perfume will be warm.
The heart is wood: cedar, guaiac and geranium weave a dry woody frame, virile without being austere. This is the layer that gives the perfume its hold and its readability as a woody oriental.
The base embraces the gourmand: vanilla rounds the patchouli, the enigmatic musks wrap the whole in a warm skin. Wear is excellent, the trail generous. An amber woody oriental for autumn and winter, to wear at night.
