The Character and History of Planchette
Planchette by Sixteen92 is a unisex fragrance from 2025, presented as a parfum extract.
It is part of the Holiday Collection 2025 and continues the brand’s signature interest in unusual, atmospheric compositions with a distinctive mood.
Sixteen92 was founded in Texas in 2014 by Claire Baxter and has been developing a perfumery language from the very beginning in which not only pleasant nuances matter, but also a cohesive artistic image.
Planchette fits this aesthetic perfectly: its character is built on a contrast between sweetness, woody depth, a dry paper-like texture, and an intentionally sensual accent.
Olfactive Profile and Development
The composition combines amaretto, mahogany, parchment, sweat, and tobacco.
This combination creates a dense, warm, and slightly provocative aromatic portrait, in which a gourmand nuance gradually encounters dark woody and animalic facets.
Amaretto provides a soft sweetness with an almond-and-liqueur impression, while mahogany and tobacco add a resinous, dry, and nobly dark depth to the scent.
Parchment introduces the effect of old paper and an intellectual dusty quality, while the sweat accord makes the composition lively, leathery, and sensual.
As a result, Planchette comes across not as a simple sweet fragrance, but as a complex story with a pronounced texture.
Sillage and Wearability
Planchette is described as having very strong sillage, making it suitable for those who enjoy a noticeable presence and compositions that do not quietly dissolve into the surrounding space.
The extract smells rich and full-bodied, while its dark sweetness is especially expressive in cool weather, in the evening, and in intimate settings.
This is a fragrance for women and men who appreciate unconventional perfumery without strict attachment to gender codes.
Planchette can be an expressive choice for a walk, a meeting, a concert, or a special evening; however, moderation is best observed in a small space.
Specific recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing have not been provided for this release, so it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and assess its development on your own skin.
The Perfumer and Its Place in the Brand’s Style
The composition was created by Claire Baxter.
Her approach in Planchette is expressed through bold work with contrasts: liqueur-like sweetness stands alongside a tobacco-woody base, while the paper and animalic accords give the fragrance character, volume, and a memorable ambiguity.
Planchette reinforces Sixteen92’s reputation as a brand for an audience seeking atmosphere, story, and the opportunity to discuss impressions in perfumery—not merely a classic note pyramid.
For a related direction with comparable intensity and a warm woody-oriental mood, consider Van Cleef & Arpels Bois Dore, although Planchette stands out with a more provocative tobacco-animalic accent.
