The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Coisy Bear was launched in 2023 as a limited-edition baby cologne from Coisy B, a niche perfume house founded in Dubai by Françoise Bekaert. Mohamed Mandouh created the fragrance as a comforting sweet scent meant to keep a little one smelling delightful between baths. Its idea is deliberately tender: orange and sugar bring a bright, playful first impression, while honey and vanilla create the soft, reassuring base. The citrus gives the composition a lively opening, and the warmer notes settle into a gentle sweetness as the scent develops. Orange keeps the sweetness from feeling flat, while honey and vanilla lend it a smooth, rounded character.
The interesting part is the contrast between the name and the finished effect. Baby cologne suggests powder, innocence and something almost weightless, yet the honey and vanilla add a warm sweetness that feels more like comfort than nursery freshness. Orange keeps the opening lively, giving the sugary accord a bright edge. As the composition settles, the repeated vanilla note becomes the anchor, turning the initial citrus sparkle into something rounder and more tactile. The result is a simple, legible gourmand structure with a soft finish, built around comfort rather than complexity for its own sake.
The evolution
The first impression is a small burst of orange, bright and gently tart, with sugar adding a smooth, almost syrupy gloss. It feels clean and playful at once, the sort of sweetness that makes an ordinary morning feel dressed up. As the citrus fades, honey takes over the center, bringing a warmer, rounder kind of sweetness. The mood shifts from fresh to comforting, like sunlight moving across a blanket. Vanilla then remains as the lasting note, giving the drydown a rounded, softly powdered finish. It does not turn into a different fragrance so much as change its posture, becoming quieter and more enveloping. Over time, the orange and sugar recede first, leaving the honey and vanilla close to the skin. Honey gives the middle stage a soft, rounded sweetness, while vanilla smooths the final impression with a gentle, powdery warmth.

The Creator
Mohamed MandouhMandouh’s style hinges on precise accord construction and transparent scent architecture. He favors a clear top‑note introduction—often a bright citrus or aromatic herb—that quickly yields to a heart of floral or spice, before settling into a base of amber, oud or soft woods.
