Dusita Paris Perfumes and its founder Pissara Umavijani are so intricately linked and entwined with Paris, the city of the realisation of her dreams to establish a perfume house and do homage to her father, the Thai poet Montri Umavijani. Here in this beautiful city, she has carved out a brand that stands strongly in the world of artistic perfumery, seamlessly translating one art to another. Under her vision, Parfums Dusita’s collection is a faceted jewel of cross-cultural stories, love for Paris and the devotional honouring of family for almost a decade.

No matter how things have changed,

the human heart will beat

for warmth and love

such have been expressed

in his poetry

Montri Umavijani

I have had the pleasure of connecting with Pissara at various perfume events and also when I find myself in Paris, which is obligatory as I live in France. In Cannes last year, I had been invited to join Pissara and her team at their apartment for an evening’s cocktail and alongside the existing collection of Dusita Parfums, I was able to have a preview of an upcoming release, a gourmand addition to the collection, it captivated me then and still hadn’t even been finished. Released in April 2025, Parfums Dusita Tonka Latte is a sublime homage, not only to Paris and its ingrained elegance but also a knowing glance to the French flair, savoir-faire and love of delicious aromas and dishes. The name ‘Latte’ alludes to the milky and creamy aspects of this creation which exudes comfort and mouthwatering velvety textural nuances.

Honeyed warmth greets the skin, swathing me in tender drifts of cocooning, like the vapour rising from that cup of long-awaited solace at the end of a long day, here is the sensation of arriving home, the comfort of arriving in a place where you innately belong. It generates warmth and a sense of relaxation on flesh, one we achieve when we repose in surroundings that nourish us. Tonka Latte encapsulates all those moments of quiet indulgence, when we pause with those we love and trust in a kerbside café and over warm drinks, rising on slightly chilly spring airs, indulge in a French pastry or two and converse lightly with those whose company uplifts us, whose conversation is a touch on our soul. Tonka Latte revels and swirls in its milky depths, patterns of creamy layers interleaved with a soft, fudge caramel that drips in measured slow-motion viscosity melting into skin with a vanilla deftly sprinkled. Tonka Bean is undoubtedly the star, the art of enveloping depth and spicy delicate vanillic strands. This accompanying presence endures the day long and unfolds like the misty tendrils of that familiar warm beverage, transparent Indian Jasmine is part of this recipe of contentment, a masterly micro-dose that lifts and adds a touch of exoticism enfolded in Parisian refinement.

Parfums Dusita Tonka Latte sits like a close friend about your shoulders, gently yet surely confident, like a finest gauze, silken white chocolate floats in delicious swathes unveiling the occasional toasted almond. Here is a quintessential Parisian afternoon respite, a sidewalk café where friends mingle and pause to pass the time, to watch the chic and bohemian passersby and indulge in a sweet indulgence, each mouthful, delicious and satisfying, the combination of gourmand pleasure and assured company, Tonka Latte embraces it all and yet always remains the epitome of French style.

Pissara has masterfully bought together elements of French life, their immense love of sweet morsels, the café culture, the moments spent to pause and just partake of simple delights, she created it with a deft hand and Parisian chic. A gentle waft of Benzoin caresses a Musk, softer murmurings of lullaby notes held suspended in airy lofts, whispering of the luxury of moments shared, simple, pleasurable moments. It is lightheaded, airy and mouthwatering without undue sweetness, the gauzy, filtered light that nudges you from sleep, the warmth of that hot drink in your hands, the scent of it as it touches your lips, the creamy interior of a fine French pastry. I dream of light vanilla whipped cream over white chocolate mousse on a bed of almond and tonka scented biscuits, I think I need to speak with my Michelin starred friend. Having got your appetites roaring it is however such an elegant wear and this is Pissara’s forte, this interplay of deep stories and the golden thread of her love for Paris, Parfums Dusita Tonka she has excelled in capturing the essence of personal moments in a refined style. Chapeau Madame.
