As-Suli's Diamond
Fig leaf and bergamot open with a green, slightly milky freshness before mandarin adds sweetness. Broom and ylang-ylang in the heart are unusual partners: broom brings a honey-like floral density that ylang's tropical richness extends rather than contradicts. Incense, opoponax, and myrrh in the base are Annick Menardo's signature territory, deep and resinous, amberwood giving the whole drydown a smooth, enduring warmth.
Why We Carry This
Named for the ninth-century chess master whose brilliance defined the game's early tradition, this fragrance carries the weight of that reference in its broom-and-opoponax foundation. Menardo's resin work here is some of the most considered in the collection.
