Inspired by stories of the Covent Garden Piazza in the 19th and early 20th centuries, when it was a playground for the sinful and decadent pleasures of the dandies and literati, Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and award-winning senior perfumer Alexandra Carlin concoct the expressive elements of the duality between light and shadow, danger and desire.
Bright and punchy, yet dark and mysterious, Bohemian Infusion is a fragrance of contrasts. It reinterprets the iconic cologne structure with unexpected ingredients in a freestyle fashion.
Zesty citrus accents of Grapefruit and Petitgrain fuse with juicy Blackcurrant and Cardamom. Cinnamon underlines the spicy nuance and blend with a bold bouquet of icy and resinous aromatic notes of Artemisia, Myrtle and Longoza. Enigmatic shades of earthy Patchouli and mineral Ambrostar are wrapped with carnal Labdanum and sensual Ambre 84 de Laire.
Le Sillage Blanc is a fresh green chypre that smells like the first morning of the world. The dew of water on the grass, the warm light spreading on the earth.
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.
