Description of the composition

Composition of Samarkande

The note pyramid of Samarkande is a harmonious blend of six key elements, creating a multifaceted and intriguing bouquet.

Basil imparts a fresh, spicy note, while Cedar adds woody depth and stability, forming a solid foundation for the fragrance.

Geranium introduces floral elegance and softness, and Ginger warms the composition with spicy heat, adding dynamics and liveliness.

Lavender softens the overall bouquet with its soothing properties, creating a balance between brightness and tenderness.

The fragrance is completed by Patchouli, which brings earthy, sensual tones, anchoring the composition and giving it longevity.

Together, these notes create the unique character of Samarkande, which develops on the skin, offering different facets over time and highlighting its belonging to the fougère and aromatic families.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
High (5 to 12 hours)

Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.

Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.
