Raphael by Sora Dora is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance for women and men, launched in 2026. Created by perfumer Margaux Le Paih Guérin, Raphael blends tart rhubarb and aromatic spices with a sophisticated floral heart and a smooth, musky-woody base.

The fragrance opens with a crisp burst of rhubarb, sharpened by rosy pink pepper and the warm, aromatic spice of cardamom. As it develops, a refined floral heart emerges, where powdery iris and violet meet creamy magnolia and sweet honeysuckle. A touch of nutmeg adds warmth and depth to the florals.

The dry down becomes soft, woody, and enveloping. Musk and cashmeran create a smooth, comforting texture, while ambroxan adds an airy amber warmth. Vanilla provides subtle sweetness alongside Atlas cedar, Virginia cedar, earthy Haitian vetiver, and patchouli for a sophisticated and long-lasting finish.
