Perfumer: Anne-Sophie Behaghel
A radiant woody perfume with an intriguing name. Is it match as in a box of matches? The perfume does possess that dry wood and cardboard vibe escaping from a box when you take a match out. Or is it a match with your skin? There is a lot of musky sandalwood and veil-like ambroxan that together create an alluring clean super-layer hovering over your skin. Or match as in new love?
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
Match suits the moment when conversation becomes more personal and the distance between two people narrows. Its dry woods keep the mood composed, while suede and musky sandalwood suggest the softness of skin beneath a crisp shirt.
How to wear
Try a light application to the neck or upper chest, letting the sandalwood and ambroxan warm on skin. Mild weather suits its balance of radiant woods and soft suede; in warmer conditions, apply sparingly to keep the woody-musky impression restrained.
Who it’s for
For those drawn to skin-like woody perfumes, soft suede and the powdery texture of orris rather than overt sweetness. Match appeals to a taste for understated sensuality, where dry texture gives a clean composition its interest.

The nose
Anne-Sophie Behaghel is a co-founder of the independent Parisian perfume studio Flair. Her work combines imaginative contrasts with carefully judged texture, moving between transparent effects and more tactile, enveloping materials. In Match, sandalwood, iris butter, suede and modern woody materials give an abstract idea of attraction a physical presence.
Collaborators
DER DUFT founder Anselm Skogstad developed Match with Anne-Sophie Behaghel, exploring several creative directions before they settled on the finished composition. He credits her patience and perfectionism throughout that collaborative process.
Der Duft’s story
DER DUFT gives perfumers creative freedom and leaves room for wearers to form their own associations. Its approach favors distinctive, modern compositions over trend-led formulas or elaborate fictional stories. The name, meaning “The Scent,” reflects that emphasis on the perfume itself.
Match’s concept
Match grew from the idea of passion and the rare chemistry that draws people together. Behaghel sought to express that connection through a fresh, exciting perfume, while the house evokes enduring attraction and a walk through cedar woods. Its dry matchbox-like impression is an olfactory interpretation rather than the documented origin of the concept.
Extra info
The official note list includes Karmawood alongside cedarwood, iris butter, suede and Ambroxan, without dividing them into top, heart and base notes. The name invites several readings, but the house’s documented concept centers on human attraction and connection.
