Coriander Souk

Mandarin orange, saffron and cardamom over rose water and geranium, resting on suede, vetiver and incense.

A bright, spiced shimmer sets the tone, from mandarin orange, saffron and cardamom, with cumin and black pepper adding warmth. Rose water, geranium and musk form a clean, light heart. Suede, vetiver and incense hold the base in a dry, leathery calm, with tonka bean rounding it off. Unusually for an oriental, it belongs to spring and summer, on men and women at evenings, formal dinners and special occasions, with moderate projection. Coriander Souk is sold by net weight as pure oriental oil, without alcohol.
