The world first encountered Eau de Finlande by Max Joacim in 2011. The inspiration and craft behind the bottle belong to Max Perttula and Max Perttulan.
Brand country — Finland, with its deep-rooted relationship with the fragrance industry. Eau de Finlande Max Joacim unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Eau de Finlande is built as a cohesive olfactory arc, where accents shift without rush and without gaps. The style of Max Joacim comes through in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail.
At the note-group layer the structure relies on Citrus, Green, Floral and Whiteflower. The framework further includes Aquatic, Spicy and Musk.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect fresh green top notes: Bergamot, Birch leaf and Galbanum.
In the middle phase you meet Hedione, Lily of the Valley and Violet leaf keeping a velvety rose-iris direction. In what remains on skin the line is anchored through Calone, Tonka bean and musk, extending a moist aquatic trail.
The internal accord map is shaped by these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Marine enrich the profile without taking over. The profile is unisex, which clarifies the composition character.
Overall Eau de Finlande holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. This is the type of composition best understood in wear.
