“This creation is my way of celebrating the beauty and generosity of this legendary queen: a mineral powdery iris enveloped in a veil of precious myrrh.”
Like a delectable offering that would exude its scents discreetly, anise builds up a delicately spicy freshness that is slightly sweet and intoxicating. It is then enhanced by cardamom, which offers it the refinement suited to an homage.
The noblest materials of perfumery are then summoned: a Damask rose absolute mixed with vibrant violet, and an iris concrete. It is a complex, delicate and addictive trio.
The overdose of myrrh resin—that aromatic gum so cherished in antiquity—contributes its multifaceted traits of wood and licorice, the virtues associated with the name of Sheba. The myrrh proudly and bountifully bears the values of a generous perfume, perfect for lovers of the finest materials.
