Al Kassir is a unique water-based perfume, where a veil of sacred sandalwood is perked up by cardamom and patchouli. The heavenly accord wraps up on the skin like velvet without being overbearing.
Description
On the correct use of perfumes
“A good perfume adapts to the person and the personality. It must neither precede nor follow the wearer too intensely; it shouldn’t emanate imperiously. Thus, it never inconveniences but always delights. It can be breathed on the wrist, or in the air disturbed by the motion when someone’s hair is shaken loose. Modest as well as faithful, it imposes nothing. It lingers but never clings – it is politely perceptible.”
Scent
Eau Triple Al Kassir, the perfume of Oriental shores as 19th-century scholars dreamt them and explorers found them: Egypt and its treasures. At the heart of the perfume lies sandalwood, a sacred tree in India and in the Middle East for millennia: a ‘gift from the gods’, believed to stimulate the opening of the third eye chakra. In Ancient Egypt, sandalwood was a key component of Kyphi, or Kapet, a sacred fragrance used to honour Sun god Râ.
Like the riches buried in the Valley of the Kings, Eau Triple Al Kassir invites us to possession. An intoxicating and sumptuous parade, led by cardamom, the most beloved of oriental spices, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and highlighted by the fresh rosy touch of geranium, the voluptuous roundness of patchouli and sensual hints of osmanthus flower, flamboyant with honey and leather.
Now we are approaching the inner sanctum of the gods, with supremely mystical, precious resins and woods, smouldering, everlasting embers: Manilla elemi, a lemony oleoresin, amber- and vanilla-scented cistus and benzoin, on a perfect woody fire of cedar, gaiac, and gurjan wood.
Al Kassir enshrouds in a unique, dazzling cloud, evoking the words of British archaeologist Howard Carter in November 1922 upon discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb: ‘[…] as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold.’
The Officine's prowess
Crafted in the Officine’s laboratory vials, this water-based perfume is both gentle for the skin and powerful enough that it leaves a nicely balanced sillage. A technical feat that took two years to design before it reached perfection.
The Eaux Triples are miscible in a unique, exclusive aqueous solution.
Alcohol and ethanol-free, these fragrances instantly and powerfully incarnate the Officine’s mesmerizing scents.
The vaporiser was subjected to in-depth development work, so that each spray would create a cloud of intensely perfumed scent.
Advice for Use & Care
Gently shake the Eau Triple flacon before vaporizing. This revives the water emulsion. The alcohol-free formula permits you to apply liberally to bare skin.
