French niche brand Cousu de Fil Blanc has launched the Shaman’s Herbs collection, consisting of three new Eaux de Toilette: Iboganda, Peyoltecaz and Ayahuescan.
Iboganda (shown) ~ “Amber and vetiver roots, trees bursting with sap, bark beaded resin, the enchanting scent of guaiac wood mixed with orange blossoms.”
Peyoltecaz ~ “At the heart of the desert the promise of water, cactus, son of the sun, vibrant notes of spice and citrus, joyful, exultant, unexpected.”
Ayahuescan ~ “At the bend of the great Amazon River, the green heart of the vines, scented foam, jungle flowers, cool shadow of the great forest.”
Cousu de Fil Blanc Iboganda, Peyoltecaz and Ayahuescan are available now at Colette in France, in 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

The names, the names!!! They are as bad as those Grossmith ones.
I really like the book-shaped boxes, though. Neat idea, all perfume boxes should be like that for easy storage
The names are very odd to an English speaker. Maybe peyolte is the French for peyote? I have no idea.
They are plays on names of different psychedelic plants/preparations. Iboganda = Iboga, Peyoltecaz = Peyote, Ayahuescan = Ayahuasca. You can look them all up, they are fascinating and beautiful things.
Yes, got that much.
Was replying to Abyss. The names aren’t “bad”, per se, in my opinion, given the source material.
Fortunately, the only one I would care to sniff (Iboganda) is the one I think I can pronounce! Love the book boxes, great idea for a fragrance library.
Yes, the outer packaging does look fun!
Being pretty obsessed myself with shamanic preparations, this looks like a very interesting series. I hope they do the shamans honor.
Hope you’ll love them then.
