Il Sale e le Dune Perfume

"There is a magical land, where time is suspended, caravans go up and down. There is an immense desert, an intense heat. The sun shines from the South. The wind blows from the North." This fragrance smells of salt, of pungent air and then suddenly takes on the changing color of the sand dunes: pink, gold and orange.

Why we’re addicted: It is inspired by the salted and sweet air of Ethiopia's windswept ancient desert dunes as noted blissfully by those on desert caravans of lore.

Notes:
Salt Water, Eucalyptus, Rosewood, Galbanum, Peach Blossom, Rose, Dry Woods

And here the tale of the Thousand and One Nights comes true. Jasmine and Aladdin wrapped in a wind of essences. The charm of a starry night that blows from the dunes of the Middle East on the grains of sand of North Africa. Rough and dry like its woody notes, soft and enveloping like the essential oil of peach blossom. For millennia, camels laden with salt slabs have traveled the road that starts from the cold Danakil desert and then crosses the hot dunes of the Ethiopian desert.
