Te Poupoutanga o te Rā Extrait de Parfum - 50ml

Te Poupoutanga o te Rā is the sun at its highest, taking Aoraki as its reference, the tallest mountain in the country under full midday light. It is the loudest thing in the range and it is not trying to be subtle.

Pink peppercorn, bergamot and cardamom open it with some bite, and pistachio starts the sweetness early. Underneath sits a full white floral heart of jasmine, tuberose and ylang ylang, then coconut, tonka bean and benzoin turn it creamy and warm. Tropical and rich rather than fresh, the kind of scent that fills the space around you.

If you like big white florals this is the one. Composed as an extrait de parfum, the most concentrated format there is, so go lightly.

About O Te Rā

O Te Rā is a New Zealand fragrance and art house built by three friends who met playing rugby in the United Kingdom. Gregory Sebastien, born in Martinique and raised in Lyon, trained in Grasse and composes the fragrances. Maia Gibbs, a ta moko and contemporary artist from Tūranganui-a-Kiwa, shapes the visual language. James Penman, from West Tāmaki Makaurau, holds the story together. The range follows the sun through four phases, sunrise, midday, sunset and night, pairing French perfumery with te ao Māori.
