This scent is a grand orchestration of contrasts. The delicate elegance of rose against the commanding depth of oud, softened by warm resins and spices.

Patchouli moves like velvet in the shadows. And the rose? Still there ,but richer now, darker, transformed. This is where the magic happens, the fragrance opens, evolves, reveals. Not just beauty, but depth. Not just scent, but power.

THE STORY: The 8th fragrance in Thameen’s unique ‘Treasure’ Collection, ‘Green Peal’ is inspired by the ‘Yemengzhu’, the legendary luminous Chinese ‘pearls’ of green fluorite. This naturally phosphorescent mineral which literally glows in the dark is found only in China and is the most valuable in the world, highly prized by the Chinese as just touching it is said to bring health, great prosperity and good luck! As hard and rarer than the finest grade diamonds, the largest green pearl is 1.6 meters in diameter and valued at 3.1 billion dollars!
THE FRAGRANCE: ‘Green Pearl’ opens with a biting green note of apple set aglow by bright citrus accords of mandarin, neroli and bergamot. At the heart, green leaves, soft and rain-soaked part to reveal green tea and the bitter-vert of Artemisia, further animated by a dusting of pepper. At the base, lustrous tonka sits atop oak moss and the ambery gleam of musk. ‘Green Pearl’ is vivid olfactory gem infused with verdant incandescence. It is eminently wearable and will cut effortlessly through heat and humidity with an energising, cleansing radiance.

What makes HONOUR 43 WOMAN an “Exceptional Extrait”?
A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.
FRAGRANCE FAMILY: White Floral.
TOP NOTES: Pepper, Rhubarb Leaves, Coriander.
HEART NOTES: Jasmine, Tuberose, Gardenia, Lily of the Valley, Carnation.
BASE NOTES: Sandalwood, Labdanum, Vetiver, Frankincense, Opoponax, Leather.
