THE INTOXICATION OF A HOT, SWEET WIND

The sweetness of nougat and the floral scent of imperial jasmine combine to create a delicate fragrance that rises like a warm breeze. This subtle union is underpinned by a leather note that transports us to the shops of the Maghreb on the wings of the Ghibli.

I wanted to work on the idea of a warm wind lifting grains of sand heated by the sun and golden as honey, I worked on this burning breath, which I interpreted with solar notes of imperial Arabian Jasmine. I used powdered almonds and roasted pistachios to create the texture of warm sand, and I combined these ingredients with notes of supple leather to celebrate the wonder of the meandering, hypnotic curves of a woman’s body that you can imagine when you look at the dunes from a distance…. I worked with an extravagant, extremely smooth tanned leather that melts into the skin.
