Gold is wedded to copper, the metal dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love and seduction….
A lingering kiss in the hollow of the wrist from Coffee, Saffron and spicy Amber. Thus Love, born in the heart of a Rose entwined with Patchouli, surrenders to the delights of intoxicating Oud.
Under fruity and herbaceous rays of Roman Chamomile, the mineral and zesty sparkle of Olibanum CO2 meets the woody and almost salty freshness of Schinus Molle, together evoking the crackling bark of Incense Trees and their resin, passively exuding their resinous effluvia in scorching desert winds. Drawn by an uplifting yet carnal Atlas Cedarwood, Saffron unfolds the richness of its leather and tobacco undertones, its sheen and its temper, Turkey-red splatters lit up by spicy embers of Pimento Berry. Olibanum and Saffron, the divine and the profane, the Abrahamic and the Babylonian, each enriching their song, one with the mystical, ecstatic, mystagogic darkness of Oud and the balsamic warmth of Cistus; the other with decadent and overdosed accents of White Cacao and Vanilla, regressive, impious and gourmand. Interlaced billows of sweet and cold smokes; a path of pleasure and a path of enlightenment; the resin of gods and of princes: Encens Roi collects the tales of a Humanity that has never ceased to hope.
A sparkling and bold opening: bright ginger, crisp rhubarb,
and dazzling elemi. Then, the tuberose, both capricious and
sensual, melts into jasmine and orange blossom, elevated by
a radiant touch of saffron. Finally, a rich and velvety base
unfolds, where white musks, ambroxan, precious woods,
vanilla, and caramel intertwine, leaving behind a warm and
comforting trail.
Tubéreuse Nuit Blanche is an endless night, a secret revealed with every breath, a fiery diva who lets night irresistible.
A solar bouquet of Ylang-Ylang pierces a cloud of white Artemisia. Together, they cast their light upon a sacred pillar of Cinnamon and Frankincense, yet there comes from the eves of Eden the psychedelic scent of Jasmine blossoms. Lights and shadows dance with gourmand winds, forbidden fruits ripen on the grass, the liquourous bite of Rum Absolute clings to lovers’ lips, bronze and ebony skins are licked by the warmth of the hearth and exude a scent of bodily balsams, of Amber and Benzoin. There lies strong in the air the smell of a love encompassing all of human loves. There is but one step… from Heaven to Hell.
An ode to wisdom, silver symbolizes the moon. It gives gold its brilliance and highlights the radiance of a delicate and sophisticated Rose. She gloriously emerges at the head of a bouquet composed of Oud, Incense and Saffron Flowers, unveiling the spirit of a vibrant East.

CITRUS FLORAL
Green souls fall in love in the shade of Citrus trees. Your laughter exhales a song of Yuzu zests and my kisses flutter, white, like petals of Neroli – as they rest on your Grapefruit lips. Red. The pulp of my fingers run along your Jasmine neck, I drink the blue seas of your eyes and the smell of your smiles. There is a heat, a whiff of Vanilla, of two bodies entwined in a shape of White Musks. Hypnotic Lotus and dilated pupils, there comes from my fingers like a moan of Geranium, a desire to taste you like a sip of Orange juice. Green. I waft towards you on the wings of your skin-of-clouds. “Words do not lie”. There is no end to me.
This is a blue planet, juicy like an Orange whence Lotus and Orange Blossom spring like seaspray. A haze of White Musks and tropics of Neroli shape a continent of Vanilla deserts.
