PANAMA AFFAIR

Panama Affair is the unisex extrait de parfum by Devertere, the Piedmontese house founded in Ciriè by Lorenzo and Federico Cavoretto, signed by master perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour and launched in 2026. An opulent, seductive amber gourmand, born for the evening.

The Fragrance

Panama Affair is a night-time escape to the Tropics, where colonial luxury brushes against forbidden pleasure. It is the scent of a Havana-style bar hidden on the top floor of a hotel in Panama City, where hot coffee, whisky and caramelized sweets meet on the counter. But it is also the scent of a secret affair, a stolen encounter between two strangers who recognize each other by the tastes they share: a fragrance for accomplices, not for innocents.

How It Evolves on Skin

The opening is intense and enveloping, built on the contrast between coffee with cream and whisky, sweetened by toffee and dates, with the sweet smoke of elemi and the fruity, balsamic note of davana. In the heart the fragrance grows darker: dark chocolate and roasted coffee take centre stage, supported by amberwood, amber and the boozy trail of rum. In the base, vanilla turns gourmand with a milkshake accord, while benzoin, ambergris, sandalwood and honey create a warm, sensual and long-lasting base.

Who We Recommend Panama Affair To

We recommend Panama Affair to those who love rich, grown-up gourmands with coffee, liqueurs and chocolate, and to those looking for an evening fragrance that doesn't go unnoticed. It is perfect in autumn and winter, for evenings, dates and special occasions. Unisex, it suits both him and her.
