Sahraa Fragrance Du Bois 🏺
Like a moment of stillness broken by unpredictable shifts of racing wind across a vast landscape, Sahraa Oud captures the untamed wilderness of Arabia. It immediately invokes the mystery and majesty of the desert, and has been crafted for the sophisticated palates of both Middle Eastern connoisseurs, and aficionados with discerning tastes alike.
Beautiful floral top and heart notes of grapefruit, rose absolute, geranium and jasmine, create a symphony that blends softly into base notes of patchouli, sandalwood, saffron, vanilla, amber and Oud.

❄️California Snow crackles with the electricity of a soirée high in the Hollywood Hills. White-blonde starlets loll on the lawn, rolling joints and listening to the sound of the coyotes. Studio execs, excited by the snowy mounds of illicit substances on every surface, long to engage. But the scent of the hot night air – earth, sage, cannabis – is too bewitching to focus on anything else.
California Snow’s glossy, filmed-in-HD surface belies a certain “earth mother” wildness. A rose so bright and crisp it smells more like an apple is the first surprise; the damp earthiness of the soil tincture the second. The combination of the crystalline with the muddy is utterly charming, like a glammed-up cool kid suddenly locating their hippy side, and kicking off their Jimmy Choos to roll around in the dirt. A witchy sage works with aromatic hay, chamomile, and wild mountain tea to dry out the scent, turning it from earthy and wet into something you might crumble up and smoke. It finishes as a gust of warm, grassy desert air off the scrublands high up in the Hollywood Hills. With its clever contrasting of crisp, clean notes with grungy, earthy ones, California Snow is provocative in a good-humored way, like a star who chooses to pair a pristine white tuxedo with beaten-up plimsolls for a red carpet event.

ALEXANDRIA II
Surrender will be the greatest prize 🫡
It is the invisible city built as the realm of the gods’ wood. It is an amphiteatre erected to stage our intoxicating passions, the cult of one’s own essence, the crossroads of rites celebrating opulence as their religion. It is the incense burning in the dark like eyes filled with passion and a love letter so long as to fill up a whole library. It is the intimacy of a blooming rose, the missing half of the apple, the gentle strength of the cedar, the lethal temptation of the lily of the valley.
It is a river of passion flowing in the middle of a town. The mature Cambodian oud enters the nostrils like a queen entering her court announced by gong chimes, her trail more precious than gold.
