SECRET DU NIL Extrait de Parfum
This fragrance is inspired by the Nile in Egypt, whose source remains a mystery. The cradle of civilization, it is the source of fertile land where we find an abundance of fruit trees and flower fields. The bee, a royal symbol of ancient Egypt, was born for the pharaohs from the tears of the sun god Ra. Its honey was a drink for newlyweds, hence the expression "honeymoon". Honey was also widely used in pharmacopoeia and embalming rituals. Secret du Nil is a fragrance that is both gourmand and floral with citrus notes such as bergamot, orange blossom, and neroli, and oriental notes of almond, vanilla, and musks. Deliciously seductive and enveloping, Secret du Nil warms the soul to savor its days.
Top notes: bergamot, bitter orange, bitter almond Heart notes: orange, neroli, toasted almond, honey Base notes: vanilla, powdered sugar, cedar, musks Perfumer: Sidonie Lancesseur, Robertet
