Vilhelm Parfumerie - Chimilka

Chimilka by Vilhelm Parfumerie is a new unisex Oriental Woody fragrance launched in 2025, created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette. Sensual, textured, and richly evocative, Chimilka explores contrasts of softness and strength—where velvety fruits, leathered florals, and ambered sweetness intertwine in a deeply modern composition.

The fragrance opens with a lush and inviting blend of peach, Italian mandarin, velvet accords, and cardamom. Peach brings juicy softness, mandarin adds citrus brightness, cardamom introduces aromatic warmth, and the velvet nuance gives the opening a smooth, tactile elegance.

At the heart, complexity deepens with Chinese osmanthus, leather, oakmoss, saffron, violet, and immortelle. Osmanthus adds a fruity-leathery floral facet, leather reinforces sensual depth, oakmoss brings earthy richness, while saffron and immortelle contribute warmth and resinous character. Violet softens the blend with powdery refinement.

The base settles into a warm, addictive trail of sugar, musk, patchouli, and amber. Sugar adds a subtle gourmand sweetness, musk provides skin-like intimacy, patchouli grounds the composition, and amber wraps everything in a glowing, long-lasting warmth.

Chimilka is opulent yet balanced—a confident oriental woody fragrance that feels plush, expressive, and unmistakably modern.
