HEMCAEL - Raris – Eau de Parfum

Hemcael Armis RARIS Eau de Parfum

A Rare Prelude

RARIS, from the ARMIS collection by Hemcael, carries its name with pride – “raris” meaning “rare.” It is a fragrance that deliberately departs from convention, opening an olfactory space that feels like a fleeting summer romance: intense, radiant, unforgettable. The introduction is striking and unexpected. Spanish licorice, with its balsamic and resinous depth, blends with Sicilian oregano, whose aromatic brightness sweeps across the skin like a Mediterranean breeze. Together they form a contrast that captivates instantly, both bold and elegant. This unusual dialogue of spice, sweetness, and herbal freshness creates a prelude that feels rebellious and refined at the same time, a signal that this scent is unlike any other.

The Seductive Heart

At its core, RARIS reveals the earthy richness of patchouli leaves, grounding the fragrance with natural depth. From here, its true personality emerges: strong yet warm, vivid yet intimate. The patchouli is softened and illuminated by the luminous beauty of magnolia blossoms, whose radiant, almost creamy floral presence lends an air of elegance. The heart of RARIS does not shout; it glows. It is a floral accord of subtle seduction, a balance of clarity and warmth, lightness and intensity. Like a memory that shifts each time we recall it, the scent unfolds in ever-changing layers: green and spicy, floral and tender, earthy and velvety. This dynamic fluidity is what makes RARIS so compelling – a fragrance in motion, never static, always alive.

Warmth and Art in the Base

The base of RARIS anchors the fragrance with richness and complexity, leaving a trail that lingers for hours. Cedarwood provides dry, structured clarity, while sandalwood softens with creamy warmth. Ambergris adds a mineral, almost salty resonance, reminiscent of sunlight lingering on the skin at the end of a summer day. Musk weaves through the base like a sensual veil, bringing intimacy and depth. These elements together create a foundation that is both warm and mysterious, a closing accord that feels meditative and poetic.

Behind this composition stands Christian Carbonnel (Chris Maurice), one of the great masters of contemporary niche perfumery, celebrated for his opulent, multilayered creations. As with all fragrances in the ARMIS collection, RARIS is housed in a sculptural flacon designed by Cael Pipin, founder of Hemcael. Forged from solid stainless steel with a satin finish and crowned with a pure brass emblem, the bottle is as much an art object as it is a vessel for scent – heavy, bold, timeless.

RARIS is a luxurious unisex fragrance, now available at scent amor. It combines aromatic spice, luminous florals, and warm woods into a rare creation designed not merely to adorn, but to inspire.
