Fragrance Character

A unisex fragrance decant with a dry, resinous and atmospheric character. Warm spices and petitgrain in the opening, a heart of cistus and jasmine that feels like incense in warm air, and a base of cedar, vetiver and ambergris. Evocative, textured and unmistakable – L’Air du Désert Marocain wears like a vivid memory of a starlit Sahara night.

Performance

• L’Air du Désert Marocain is an eau de toilette intense with outstanding longevity and a distinctive, enveloping sillage.
• The spicy-amber accord projects clearly in the first few hours, then settles into a dry, woody-amber skin scent that can be perceived for many hours on skin and even longer on clothing.
• It is a characterful fragrance that rewards a considered number of sprays.
