Pandora by Daniel Vieira, finalist in the IX Mouillette d’Argent perfume competition
The competition, held in May 2026 in Barcelona, brings together numerous independent perfumers from around the world each year, as well as various fragrance houses such as Iberchem, which are committed to recognizing the talent of their perfumers.
Pandora is a deep and mystical perfume inspired by patchouli, the featured note of the 9th edition of the international perfumery competition Mouillette d’Argent.
The fragrance opens with green and earthy notes that blend with the freshness of tropical fruits. As it evolves, it ventures deeper into the jungle, revealing darker nuances, like wild orchids blooming far from the light. In the base, patchouli and vetiver notes bring mystery and authenticity to the fragrance.
