The top note of Mahora quickly suggests mystery. Is Mahora the name of a woman, a new continent, or does it refer to the secret garden that everyone carries within? The question remains unanswered. Jean-Paul Guerlain's journeys through the world led him to Mayotte Island where he picked a ylang-ylang flower, then to Nabeul in Tunisia, where he gathered citrus fruit, and to India where he discovered sandalwood and jasmine. He brought home each of these impressions to create Mahora.
Jean-Charles Brosseau, hatmaker, was looking for a perfume that would bring back the memories of his grandmother\'s face powder, his youth, family Sunday gatherings and home-baked pastries: a perfume that would also suggest hats and furs! He proposed this idea to Americans who immediately saw its potential for success. The fragrance and the perfume bottle were created in short order and what followed was a real infatuation for this debut perfume which dared to combine gourmet praline and cosmetic notes.
