EDPUnisex
The Story
L'Air du Désert Marocain is a breathtaking journey into the heart of the Sahara. This extrait concentration, Parfum de la Folie, amplifies the original's rich, spicy warmth with a deeper, more resinous presence. It opens with a bright burst of coriander and cumin, then settles into a heart of cedar and jasmine, all resting on a base of amber, vetiver, and musk. It's a fragrance that feels both ancient and alive, like a desert wind carrying the scent of spices and dry earth.
