Maison Mataha Brownie Pop was released in 2024, created by Elise Pierre. A hazelnutty chocolate (Nutella but better!) fragrance with notes of brown sugar, hazelnut, chocolate, popcorn, biscuit, vanilla and sandalwood. Maison Mataha Brownie Pop is an extrait de parfum, edp.
From the brand - "Brownie Pop captures the essence of a fudgy brownie topped with caramelized popcorn. Imagine yourself in a light-filled kitchen, where the rich aroma of caramelized brown sugar fills the air. The fragrance opens with the comforting sweetness of a soft, still-warm brownie, with chocolate chips gently melting on your tongue. Then, a swirl of caramelized popcorn joins the party, crunchy and sweet, adding a funfair note to this indulgent treat. Finally, creamy sandalwood and vanilla wrap it all up in a comforting warmth, like a sweet hug."
Fragrantica - "this fragrance smells so so so similar to Hayal from Katana Parfums. it's a bit sweeter with the chocolate note. but they both have the same nutty, rice-like quality. I’m pretty sure that it’s coming from the sandalwood, hazelnut, and biscuit notes here in brownie pop. if you don’t like hazelnut, be careful with this one. hazelnut is one of the stars of this scent and it might throw you off. I get a very gentle chocolate here, warm, fresh out the oven. rich and surprisingly airy. the popcorn is pretty subtle so you might only pick it up if you’re looking for it. i do get brown sugar, but just a little bit (if you’re expecting vanilla 28 vibes, look elsewhere, or layer). it’s mainly the sandalwood and hazelnut here. it’s not super sugary or overly sweet — it’s more nutty & woody. I actually think this could be worn daily. I find it to be sophisticated, surprisingly clean, and comforting. it reminds me of a desert and dessert at the same time, don't ask me lol. this layered with escapade gourmand is incredible. i think maison mataha should seriously consider combining both scents into one unique fragrance."
Fragrantica - "I get mostly brownies and hazelnut, and not much popcorn, but I love it! Not too sweet and especially as it dries down, it becomes very wearable for someone like me who's not into wearing gourmands too often. Dense and rich, and smells of high quality. Longevity seems alright as well."
Fragrantica - " I can smell all the notes, but they are beautifully blended. I get the chocolate hazelnut brownie in the opening, then the cream and toffee/caramel popcorn. It’s absolutely gorgeous! I was looking for a popcorn scent that wasn’t too OTT and this is it for me! It does remind me of Sol de Janeiro 62 & 71. This was just an instant love at first sniff for me! Ive ordered a full bottle. It’s a gorgeous, comforting, warm hug in cool weather scent. It is sweet, but I definitely think a man could pull this one off too. This is absolutely a new favourite for me!"
Fragrantica - "An exciting opening of sharp hazelnut and biscuit, the scent then changes into a warm, rich, chocolate brownie with a drizzle of popcorn. It just blends so well together. The dry down of sandalwood brings balance and calmness, leaving a beautiful, cosy, vanilla trail. I was most surprised at the depth of this and how I adored both the opening and dry down, equally the same. I can’t get enough of Brownie Pop, it’s absolutely delightful!
