Eau de Toilette

Series 3: Incense

Ouarzazate (to be pronounced as \’war-za-zat\’) meaning ’the Desert Fire’, is devoted to Islam and named after the small historical town of Ouarzazate in Morroco. Ouarzazate brings the smell of precious sweet and intensive spices and aromatic desert plants. The fragrance becomes milder on skin. The grassy note of sage, a herb that Morroco is known for, wriggles through with calming pepper and nutmeg, opening the space for mysterious frankincense.

After drydown, sillage is soft with Ouarzazate. It reads as a cooling, fresh breeze in an arid landscape. The really intriguing thing here is in the interplay between the sage and the emergence of a soft vanillic amber.
