Cuir Zerzura
Unspecified
Cuir Zerzura is an exclusive composition that reveals a vivid and sensual interpretation of leather, inspired by the legend of Zerzura, a mythical oasis lost in the Sahara desert. Captivating and mysterious, Zerzura embodies the purity and mystery of the desert. The fragrance opens with a fresh and vibrant blend of mandarin, violet leaf, and elemi. This rich and warm scent then unveils a floral heart of rose and iris, enhanced by nutmeg. The base notes reveal a deep and captivating essence of leather, cedarwood, and vanilla.
