Theme N°10: Coffee
Bitter Oriental Woody
Redolent of many-coloured wood, inspired by Southern Africa and the art of the Baoulé tribe, with a surprising fusion of tangy and luscious notes
in the heat of a ritual flame…
A fiery breath of caramel and toasted hazelnuts, enriched with spices, fans the flames of vetiver, balsam wood and bitter orange. Bewitching spirals of incense, mingled with liquorice, surround a blazing core of fragrant Wengué wood, dried grasses and resin.
THE INSPIRATION
A bushfire, a Voodoo ceremony.
THE PERFUME
Oriental Flames – Hypnotic and Disorienting. All the ingredients are taken roasted, burnt or grilled to develop a dark and mysterious aspect and reflect a notion of “olfactory bitterness”.
THE NAME
A-O-Massaï for Amer (Bitter) Oriental (Amber), of African inspiration.
