This gourmand-tinged tropical says “hello!” with a fruity-sweet kick-off. Bergamot, coconut and tonka bean set you in the sunshine, before a gently-enveloping tuberose suggests a South Pacific escape. Jasmine and ylang-ylang harmonise, while an emphatic praline accord sugarcoats the experience.
In Inca mythology, “Ukhu Pacha” (ookoo paka) means the place of intuition, dreams, and the subconscious — a total letting go! This eau de parfum is an invitation to join the circle, dance and celebrate together to the rhythm of tamboradas (drums).
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the kind of fragrance that suits warm skin, open air and close conversation: a bright, slightly sensual floral that feels at home in a lively crowd rather than a quiet room. It gives off a sun-warmed, tropical glow with a soft, powdery trail.
How to wear
Best in spring and summer, especially in mild to warm weather where its coconut, salt and tuberose facets can bloom without becoming heavy. Apply lightly to pulse points; one to three sprays is enough to keep the praline and vanilla soft, with a creamy, saline aura that lingers close to the skin.
Who it’s for
For those who like tropical florals with a gourmand twist: creamy coconut, luminous white flowers, a salty breeze and a soft sweet finish. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy sensual but airy scents with a powdery, slightly playful character.

The nose
Marine Mercé is the perfumer behind Ukhu Pacha, a composition that shows her taste for luminous, textured blends where florals, salinity and gourmand warmth meet. Here she balances a breezy marine opening with a creamy white-floral heart and a smooth, sunlit base. Her work on Ukhu Pacha fits a contemporary French niche style that values clarity of structure and emotional atmosphere over heavy ornament. The fragrance reads as juicy and radiant, but also grounded, with driftwood and vanilla keeping the tropical sweetness from becoming flat.
Collaborators
Marie Kellou and Arthur Ponroy shaped Maison Matine’s creative direction, building the house around a freer, less coded idea of perfumery; for Ukhu Pacha, that vision frames the scent’s playful, solar and ritualistic mood.
Maison Matine’s story
Maison Matine is a young French house built around freedom, simplicity and creative independence. It rejects perfume’s old codes of opulence and seduction in favour of graphic, responsible, unisex compositions with a playful, contemporary spirit.
Ukhu Pacha’s concept
Ukhu Pacha takes its name from Inca cosmology, where it refers to the realm of intuition, dreams and the subconscious. The scent is framed as a sensory journey between dream and instinct, mixing tropical brightness, saline air and creamy florals with a festive, ritual energy.
Extra info
Ukhu Pacha is a Quechua term linked to the inner or underground world, often translated through the lens of intuition and the subconscious. The fragrance is also presented as vegan, cruelty-free and packaged in recyclable, plastic-free materials made in France.
