About the Fragrance
Saffron is the keystone of this composition, magnified by the petal-like sweetness of flowers, creamy woods and resins. Delicately ambered, enveloping fragrance, it is part of our Graines Vagabondes collection. About the flacon: A representation of the 'fairy chimneys' that punctuate the Cappadocia region. Volcanic eruptions created this surreal moonscape: the lava flows formed tuff rock, which wind and rain sculpted into sinuous valleys with curvy cliff faces and pointy fairy chimneys.
