Steeped in mystery and inspired by the land of its origins, this new creation encapsulates the blazing heat of the desert.Like the crackling of the first flames of a fire, the fragrance opens on the sharp, airy note of spicy pepper that merges with incense to awaken the senses.Slowly, the flames burn brighter, giving off a thick, dense smoke. Myrrh and leather combine to recreate this distinctive atmosphere, lending the perfume its character and charisma.As time passes, the smoke dissipates. An invisible fragrance trail of incense and tobacco continues to linger over the enveloping base of amber, which is enhanced by a hint of vanilla. Echoing the wealth of complexity and surprisingcontrasts that characterize incense, this perfume perfectly embodies the many mysteries of its core ingredient. Van Cleef & Arpels Encens Précieux 75 ml
