Pause Coréenne

Pause Coréenne is a French perfume house founded by Naim B in 2025. "There are moments when everything slows down. A scent, a gesture, a ray of light on a white wall. Pause Coréenne was born from this desire: to transform everyday fragments into unique olfactory experiences.Inspired by South Korea – its attention to detail, its sensitive minimalism, its serene pace – our house reinvents fragrance as a personal pause, an intimate moment between memory and sensation.The inspiration – 도시의 감성 (Urban Sensitivity). Korea, in rhythm with the heart.Each fragrance is an homage to a place, a mood, a fleeting instant:The quiet alleys of 서울 (Seoul) at dawn, where coffee blends with the crisp morning air.The reimagined hanoks of 전주 (Jeonju), between tradition and modern lines.The pure volumes of 인천 (Incheon), where shadows play with concrete and glass.Our fragrances are infused with this Korean visual language – composed of silences, natural materials, diffuse light, and contained emotion.The nose behind the creations – 마드 샤바니 (Maud Chabanis)To bring this vision to life, we collaborated with Maud Chabanis, a perfumer with rare sensitivity. Her approach is guided by narrative subtlety: each composition unfolds like a sensory walk, a memory forming on the skin.Your memories, in notes – 당신의 향기로운 순간Every Pause Coréenne creation evokes a suspended moment:A steaming espresso in Seoul — captured in a warm, discreet coffee note.A shared memory, radiant and tender — vivid, balanced raspberry.A silent gesture in a serene interior — soft, powdery iris.A late afternoon on the Busan coast — juicy, sun-kissed young mango.A quiet breath, an inner stillness — airy cedarwood and transparent musk.Smell and Imagine — 향과 상상Pause Coréenne is more than perfume. It’s an inner breath, an olfactory evocation, a gentle memory to imagine. Each bottle holds a story. Each trail revives your own emotion.Pause Coréenne – A pause. A memory. A moment. 향은 감정을 기억한다 — "Scent remembers emotion." - a note from the brand. Pause Coréenne is a new fragrance brand. Designer Pause Coréenne has 2 perfumes in our fragrance base all launched in 2025. The nose who worked on the fragrances is Maud Chabanis. more...
