More about Reine de Saba
Beautiful, powerful and mystical. She was one of the most mysterious figures in the ancient Middle East. Wherever she appeared, she exuded a fragrant aura for which she was widely known. She was the Queen of Sheba or ‘Reine de Saba’, as she is called in French.
The home of the Queen of Sheba was home to sunshine distilled into scent, treasures of the ancient art of perfumery, and precious aromatic plants. Her kingdom, which stretched from the southwestern Arabian Peninsula, today's Yemen, to Eritrea and northern Ethiopia, owed its wealth to an indispensable resource of ancient cultures: fragrant resins such as frankincense and myrrh, which played a central role in both religious practice and perfume production.
A dream became reality with its magnificent fragrances released by the fragrant resins of frankincense, myrrh, labdanum and balsam. Today, these are combined with the most precious woods and flowers: cedarwood, sandalwood, styrax, patchouli, rose, jasmine, tuberose, lily and more, as well as spices such as cinnamon and cardamom and the scent of ambergris.
Reine de Saba takes you and your senses on a dreamlike journey to Arabia Felix with the help of seductive fragrances. From the Queen of Sheba's Incense Road to the Nabataeans and the Roman Empire to the shop on Rue Marbeuf, the history of the land of Sheba has survived the centuries and will live on by passing on the legacy of this legendary figure to us.
