An immediate encounter with lemon, orange, and bergamot reveals a colorful opening that evokes the vibrant landscape of the Queen of Sheba's homeland. Like a cologne, the top notes give way to a fragrant touch of camphor, Tunisian rosemary rubbed with black pepper, evoking the queen's vivacious spirit.
Its richness is symbolized by a trio of regal flowers: orange blossom and tuberose resonate together in a sensual heart, then join with Egyptian jasmine absolute, which adds volume to help the bouquet bloom. Irresistible coconut lactones envelop the petals, infusing the white flowers with a sublime softness that caresses the skin.
The queen's power is encapsulated in a base of precious woods that lend depth to the trail and offer multifaceted elegance. Sandalwood, patchouli, Atlas cedar, and musk round out the fragrance with smoky nuances that create a seductive, misty trail.
"To create Aksoum, I worked with sumptuous flowers, primarily tuberose and jasmine. I believe they evoke the aura of sensuality and magnetism that emanated from this powerful queen." - Dominique Ropion, master perfumer.

What is a decant?
It is the original perfume extracted by us from its bottle into a 3, 6 or 10ml atomizer.
This allows you to test it calmly on your skin, smell the aroma and see how it performs in terms of performance and sillage.
The decant is ideal for taking your perfume on a trip, and you can also use it to reapply it during the day.
*Each ml allows for approximately 12-15 sprays.
