Almaz
Almaz
Black currant and bergamot open tart and bright, joined by Amalfi lemon and mandarin for a citrus blast that's sharper than most gourmands bother with. Raspberry and heliotrope soften things fast, and Turkish rose with orris gives the middle real floral structure instead of just sugar.
Why We Carry This
Brown sugar, Madagascar vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood, and amber build a base that's rich without being cloying, thanks to how much citrus and rose came before it. Rania Jouaneh clearly understood that a good gourmand needs contrast, not just sweetness, and Almaz has more structure than most fragrances in its category.
