Two friends and one perfumer

Pernoire AG is registered in Basel, and the site calls it an independent Swiss perfume house. It was founded in 2020 by childhood friends Robin Dünner, who leads creative direction, and Nico Mannino, who is CEO. They develop every composition together with perfumer Andreas Wilhelm; an idea starts from a feeling, a memory or curiosity, and they say they follow it regardless of trends.

Anima and Odus

All perfumes are Extrait de Parfum, in two lines: Anima at 25% concentration, in black flacons, and Odus at 30%, in white ones. Each flacon carries a line illustration and a round metal cap, and the names point to an idea or a key note: Anelo to pineapple and pomelo, Yuma to yuzu and mint, Poka to popcorn and caramel.

Where to start

Anelo, the most reviewed of the house on Fragrantica, puts pineapple, pomelo and mango over ginger, dry amber and vetiver. Amoral is darker: key lime, black tea, smoked prunes, spices, oud and cypriol on sandalwood and tonka. Poka is a dessert, with caramel popcorn, apple pie, roasted hazelnut, vanilla and cedarwood.
