Umeris.

Umeris emerged from Soul of Makeen’s Love Collection, a tribute to brotherly love and mutual support. Anne‑Sophie Behaghel and Flair crafted it in Paris, weaving citrus, spice and resin to echo the bond of two siblings standing shoulder‑to‑shoulder. The name, drawn from the ancient Mesopotamian term for “brother,” anchors the scent in mythic kinship while the composition reflects a modern, unisex vision.

The trio of bergamot, pink pepper and cumin creates a rare opening that feels both fresh and earthy, a contrast that mirrors the tension between youthful optimism and seasoned resolve. Immortelle adds a sun‑kissed floral amber, while patchouli grounds the heart, giving the fragrance a lingering, almost meditative depth that few woody chypres achieve.

At first spray, pink pepper snaps like a crisp laugh, while bergamot lifts the mood with bright citrus, and cumin whispers an undercurrent of market‑street spice. Within ten minutes the initial spark softens, letting the golden warmth of immortelle bloom, its honeyed notes wrapping the skin in a soft glow. Patchouli then slides in, adding an earthy, slightly damp forest floor that steadies the heart. As the day fades, amber‑rich ambroxan and frankincense rise, delivering a resinous, almost incense‑like veil, while Virginia cedar anchors the drydown with a dry, woody finish. The scent lingers for six to eight hours, fading into a subtle, smoky whisper that feels like the memory of a shared secret.

Since its debut, Umeris has found a niche among scent lovers who value a unisex, woody‑spicy profile that hints at mythic brotherhood. Wearers often compare its cedar‑spice core to Ganymede and note its subtle similarity to the cult favorite OFG, positioning it as a quiet alternative to louder oud pieces. Its moderate sillage makes it a favorite for intimate gatherings and creative studios alike.
