An intense desert fragrance, straightforward and hot, named after the second largest desert in the world that stretches through central Asia.
The individual notes from Stéphane Humber Lucas’ “Taklamakan” soar upwards like a mysterious desert wind, the longer one wears the scent and the more it melts with the skin.
The chords overlap and give this unique perfume space, like a dream, an imprint, a feeling. Taklamakan is a very focused fragrance, powerful and yet finely nuanced. Patchouly, the dominant element of the fragrance, is supported by primary natural essences which one immediately recognizes without having to distinguish or emphasize them separately. An impression of crushed stone and traditional vanilla is enhanced by smoky and woody notes. Musk plus a touch of cinnamon join the affray – vibrant and strong!
The work of a true artist, delicate and fine. Resins and scores of woven cotton: fabrics that seemed long forgotten, moist and crackling at the same time. A fragrance that tells of a journey, a quiet and sensual journey. Taklamakan has a soul, an intelligence, and as we all know, intelligence is sexy.
An enchanting fragrance, a mystery, a token. A perfume, that is far away from the previously familiar.
