Loumari Radan Four Review: Spiced Amber & Orris Masterpiece
A deep dive into Julien Rasquinet's opulent 2026 extrait, blending warm spices, iris, and resinous vanillic depth.
In this review
In the ever-expanding universe of niche perfumery, it takes a truly exceptional composition to stop the seasoned connoisseur in their tracks. Enter Loumari Radan Four, a 2026 extrait de parfum that arrives with the quiet confidence of a masterwork. Created by the virtuoso perfumer Julien Rasquinet, this is not merely a fragrance—it is a study in contrasts: the sharp bite of pepper tempered by the creamy plushness of orris, the sacred smoke of olibanum wrapped in the warm embrace of vanilla and myrrh.
Radan Four belongs to a lineage of grand oriental ambers, yet it carves out a distinct identity through its fearless use of spice and its almost architectural structure. From the first exhilarating rush of cardamom and pink pepper to the lingering powdery-musk trail, it tells a story of transformation—from invigorating brightness into deep, resinous warmth. It is a fragrance that commands attention without shouting, projecting above-average sillage while maintaining an intimate, skin-hugging finish that invites closer inspection.
This article offers an exhaustive analysis of Radan Four: its composition, its performance, its place within the Loumari canon, and its resonance with collectors who seek both novelty and timelessness. We’ll dissect each note, evaluate the craftsmanship, and provide a verdict for those wondering whether this €280 extrait is worth the investment.

Pros & Cons
- Exquisite blend of spice and resinous sweetness
- Impressive longevity and sillage for an extrait
- Unique take on the amber-iris genre
- Versatile enough for both day and evening wear in cooler seasons
- Beautifully balanced—neither too sweet nor too dry
- Price point (€280/100ml) is steep for a relatively new brand
- Pepper top notes may be overwhelming for those sensitive to spice
- Limited availability outside select niche retailers
- Powdery orris might not appeal to fans of fresher, greener scents
Price & Value
“Premium pricing justified by high-quality raw materials, expert craftsmanship, and strong performance; however, it competes directly with other luxury extraits in the same bracket.”
Reformulation History
No significant batch variations reported; Loumari maintains consistent production standards, though slight shifts in myrrh intensity may occur due to natural ingredient variability.

Layering Ideas
- Layer with a clean, white musk base like Molecule 01 to soften the spices
- Combine with a subtle vanilla or tonka scent (e.g., MFK Absolue Pour Le Soir) to amplify the base
- For a fresher take, spray over a light cedar or vetiver skin scent
