  In this explosion of geometric shapes, you are led to enjoy the opening notes with incredible sonic ease. Inspired by the splendour of the Topkapi Palace, the scent is lost amongst golden mosaics and endless vaulted ceilings. The historical beauty of that architecture translates into notes brimming with life and art. The apricot lends itself to a syrupy flavour with a candied texture—sweet, dense, and with a naturalness that at times feels like jam. As soon as you achieve that density and sweetness in appetising proportions, the undulations catch a watery, gentle rose, but as it dries, it unravels into a darker tone. Time ignites as a scarlet blush, saffron, transforms the gold sheets that sculpt our skin into an oriental flavour, offering an aromatic vapour with multiple facets. The caramel is the splendour that embraces the creation, giving it a sense of existence by traversing and expanding a sweetness without overwhelming the melody. The light emitted by the scent remains initially reluctant to the embrace, proud and elusive, making one beg for the last first kiss. The intentionality of the scent forks, spurred by the imminence of Oud—earthy, generous, and without dark traces that would lean towards an animalic facet. The chocolate inclines towards bitter cocoa, avoiding milky creaminess. The heat it radiates is the climax of the scent; sweetness is consecrated to a refined, classical orchestra. The pieces are carefully assembled at a precise point but leaning towards something more than gourmand. Enjoying this work is like wearing liquid gold, turning the memory of the past into a living story.
