Contes de Parfums Salalah Eau de Parfum 100 ml

Descrizione

With a genuine love and passion for Arabic perfume, its culture and origins, a trip to one of history's most important frankincense cities was a discovery for Julien and its important perfume roots.Arabic fragrance philosophy recreated to modern-day fine fragrance. Opening with subtle PLUM and ROSE offering a gentle floral entry into a heart of the luxuriously enveloping TURKISH ROSE and PACHOULI. With rich, woody base notes of unmistakable OUD, soft and cosy LABDANUM and fresh, spicy GURJUN further reiterate the exquisitely rounded elegance, strength and depth of this modern creation of Arabic roots.His passion for traditional Arabic perfume and Arabic culture was undeniable. His trip to Oman was a pilgrimage to the ancient home of frankincense. Salalah, the southern city in Oman is a true dichotomy. With its contrasting world of lush green mountainous vegetation, natural waterfalls and moderate temperatures. An abundance of colour with fruits and flowers grown in this natural oasis during the monsoon or ‘khareef' summer months. It's friendly, bustling local market full of heady spices, contrasted by the sweet smell of dried apricot, rose petals, rose and orange waters offering a softer cushion for the nose. Fresh fruits: plums, pineapples, bananas and mango suggest utter deliciousness. Then it hit him, the warm evening air in the narrow market streets intertwined with the smoke of Arabic bakhoor, agarwood (oud) and frankincense, ignites his passion, imagination and emotions. He is instantly transported back centuries to Salalah's domination of the opulent frankincense era, and once again he relives his memorable visit to the UNESCO frankincense site.
