Naki

Fruity · Fresh · Unisex | 2023 | Anima Collection

The Story

Every soul begins untouched. Naki — meaning "pure" in Arabic — is Pernoire's tribute to that original state of being: the openness, sincerity, and light-heartedness we carry in youth and too often surrender along the way. Symbolized by the lotus flower, which rises unstained from the water that surrounds it, Naki is an invitation to return to your unclouded self.

The Scent

Naki opens in a burst of crystalline brightness. Sparkling aldehydes lift juicy peach and green fig leaf into the air, while a breath of sea breeze carries the composition like a coastal morning — clean, radiant, and alive.

The heart softens into something warmer and more intimate. Sun-ripened passionfruit meets the delicate apricot glow of osmanthus and the powdery tenderness of almond blossom, balancing tropical vibrancy with quiet floral grace.

As the fragrance settles, creamy sandalwood, white musk, and a whisper of vanilla wrap the skin in a smooth, luminous finish — the olfactory equivalent of sunlight on clean linen. White blossoms linger through the drydown, keeping the purity of the opening alive for hours.

The Experience

Despite its airy character, Naki performs with remarkable endurance — a fresh, fruity signature that stays with you from morning into evening. Concentrated as an extrait de parfum and crafted with natural essences, it wears beautifully in spring and summer, yet its creamy base gives it year-round versatility.

Presented in Pernoire's signature black flacon adorned with a stylized lotus, Naki is equally at home on any wearer — a genuinely unisex composition that feels effortless rather than loud. It doesn't announce itself; it draws people closer.

The House

Founded in Switzerland in 2020 by childhood friends Nico Mannino and Robin Dünner, Pernoire creates complex unisex fragrances built around distinct personalities — perfumes designed not just to be worn, but to be become. Naki was composed by perfumer Andreas Wilhelm.
