Guerlain's perfumer, Thierry Wasser, drew his inspiration from the heart of the Orient. He worked with one of the rarest and most precious raw materials in perfumery: sandalwood. An enchanting sandalwood, imbued with mystery, is given pride of place in this new woody oriental fragrance. A play of subtle contrasts between the dark notes of leather and oud accord and the luminous floral notes of jasmine and rose.
