Byzantine Amber Edp 30ml

Byzantine Amber is the third fragrance that makes up, together with Libertine Neroli and Unspoken Musk, the series specifically dedicated to the glorious raw materials of perfumery, reinterpreted according to the style of the house.
Byzantine Amber is an intense and decadent perfume, like a great civilization in the final phase of its splendour.
Salome by Gustave Moreau is a painting that can evoke the splendour and drama of this olfactory work in images.
The beautiful mosaics of the Byzantine civilization, such as those of Ravenna, have gleaming gold tesserae which are imperfect for being worn out over time. This sense of theatrical and luminous splendour accompanied by a dark and obscure side inspired Byzantine Amber.
The geranium – pulpy, rosy, spicy, slightly green, contrasts with the dry minerality of the ambergris and styrax.
The backbones of this work is a familiar structure, an ambery accord enriched by the spice that makes it sensual: cinnamon.
This warm and shiny accord is darkened by leathery, smokey and animal aspects, which give intensity and characterize the composition.

Top Notes: The initial impression is a vibrant burst of citrus from Bergamot, quickly warmed by the spicy sweetness of Cinnamon. This creates a luminous and inviting opening.

Heart Notes: As the top notes fade, a floral heart of Geranium emerges. Its rosy, slightly green, and spicy facets contrast beautifully with the developing base, adding a touch of pulpy freshness to the evolving warmth.

Base Notes: The foundation of Byzantine Amber is a rich and decadent ambery accord. Benzoin and Labdanum contribute a warm, resinous sweetness, while Frankincense adds a mystical, balsamic touch. The animalic depth of Ambergris intertwines with the smoky, leathery nuances of Styrax and Leather, creating a dark and sensual dry down. This complex interplay of notes evokes a sense of faded opulence and dramatic intensity.
