‘I come from a Mediterranean city bathed in heat and light, surrounded by vibrant nature loaded with fragrance. One scent stays firmly in my mind, that of orange blossom. The house where I grew up was surrounded by orange trees and when the breezes came through the branches they brought their ethereal fragrance with them’ – Elie Saab
‘The scent is sharp and sensual floral – woody. This version is also signed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian who pays tribute to the designer’s memories of the Mediterranean and the scent of orange blossom in the air, so that it is the key ingredient of the composition once again. Aromas of mandarin tree blossom provide tart freshness to the heart of orange blossom and gardenia, placed at the base of vetiver, rose and honey.’ – Fragrantica
