Samam Kiss & Sea Red Prive

Kiss & Sea Red Privé EDP by Samam Exclusive by Nature

Launched in 2024, Kiss & Sea Red Privé EDP is a warm, aromatic, and deeply sophisticated creation from the niche house of Samam. A Woody Chypre unisex fragrance, Red Privé French for Red Private or Red Exclusive is a fragrance of quiet, confident exclusivity: bright citrus and warm spice at the opening, a deeply original heart of maté and Chinese jasmine, and a base of guaiac wood, balsam fir and amber that is as warm and as enveloping as a private room in the finest establishment. This is a fragrance that does not seek attention. It simply commands it.

The Scent Journey

• Top Notes: Bergamot, Nutmeg and Pink Pepper. A bright, warm, and gently spiced opening of immediate sophistication. Bergamot sparkling and aromatic, nutmeg warm and slightly sweet with a rich, aromatic spiciness, and pink pepper rosy and gently fiery, together creating an opening of clean, spiced elegance that sets the tone for the distinctive heart to come.
• Middle Notes: Maté and Chinese Jasmine. A deeply original and entirely distinctive heart of two notes in perfect, unexpected harmony. Maté the South American herbal infusion, with its distinctive dry, slightly smoky, green-herbal, and faintly bitter character is one of the most unusual and inspired heart notes in the Samam range, adding a cool, slightly astringent depth that is entirely unlike any conventional floral or woody heart. Chinese jasmine lighter, more delicate, and more tea-like than its Sambac or Grandiflorum cousins adding a soft, slightly honeyed floral warmth that lifts the maté with effortless grace. Together, a heart of genuine, quietly thrilling originality.
• Base Notes: Guaiac Wood, Balsam Fir, Jasmine, Amber and Musk. A warm, resinous, and deeply enveloping drydown. Guaiac wood — a dense, tropical hardwood with a distinctive warm, slightly smoky, rosy-woody character — adding a deep, lasting woody warmth, balsam fir — the clean, slightly sweet, resinous freshness of the northern forest — adding a cool, green, balsamic depth that gives the base a natural, outdoors quality, jasmine adding a full-bloomed floral richness, amber golden and resinous, and musk leaving a clean, skin-close trail that carries the warmth and complexity of the entire composition for hours.

Red Privé is a fragrance of genuine, understated distinction the maté and Chinese jasmine heart is the masterstroke, a combination of dry, smoky herbal depth and delicate, tea-like florality that gives Red Privé its entirely distinctive character and separates it from every other Woody Chypre in the Samam range. The balsam fir in the base is the inspired finishing touch: a cool, green, resinous freshness that keeps the warm amber and guaiac wood base feeling alive and luminous rather than heavy.
