Matière Première Fragrances to Explore at Zamoori
Crystal Saffron is a study in woody and spicy facets, opening with Musk, transitioning through a Saffron heart, and resting on a base of Ambroxan, Incense, and Myrrh. Falcon Leather presents an oriental, resinous profile, leading with Saffron and Labdanum, layered over Birch Tar, and settling into an Oud and Benzoin base.
Vanilla Powder explores a gourmand and powdery aesthetic. It features a Coconut opening, leading into a central Vanilla core, and finishing with a blend of Vanilla, White Musk, Palo Santo, and Coconut in the base.
