Shalimar: the history of the first amber fragrance

Der Duft launched Match in 2021 — and it was a brilliant move. By character, a unisex fragrance drawing from the spicy and wood families. The nose behind this fragrance — Anne-Sophie Behaghel. Concentration — eau de parfum: exactly what it needs to be.
Made in Germany, backed by a long and proud tradition. Match Der Duft — the choice of those who appreciate depth and character in every detail.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
The scent is clearly present near you, but it does not fill the entire space
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of Match unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow with precision and warmth. The signature of Der Duft is clear in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de parfum sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Ambery, Spicy, Wood and Citrus. It also reaches into Floral and Leather. Within olfactory families the scent maps to Spicy and Wood.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a noble cedar mood: Ambroxan, Black Pepper, Cedar, Cumin, Ginger, Grapefruit and Iris.
The middle and base stages are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The accord profile is built around these accords: Citrus, Wood, Powdery and Amber with each one in a clear role. Additional accords such as Leather and Spicy add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Overall Match sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
