Description
Two absolutes herald the presence of a magnificent, bold and regal woman. Notes of ambrette combine with the potency of Egyptian violet leaf, which is slightly leathery and energized by the ebullient mandarin orange. Queen Makeda is proud of her adventurous spirit. She lives her life to the fullest and radiates wisdom. The sensual iris fragrances interact with the ambrette, enlivening it, while the rose’s honeyed warmth and the jasmine’s opulence magnify it. A procession of noble flowers creates a sillage that speaks to liberated women. The composition elegantly radiates boldness and freedom thanks to the use of superior woods: creamy sandalwood, resinous, tenacious cedar, woody, soft vanilla and potent musks. The base is full-bodied, rich and enchanting, lifted by smooth Cashmeran.

Perfumer's Word
“This project gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in the Queen of Sheba’s universe, which I first learned about through an exhibition at the Arab World Institute. It was a world with a stunning olfactory sensibility, spices, herbs and incense, a place we fantasize about visiting.”
