Almaz, the Arabic word for diamonds, are renowned not only for their beauty, but also for their timelessness as they withstand millions of years of immense pressure in their formation. This EdP references the indestructible nature of diamonds with a powerful blackcurrant-led bouquet. Juiciness is enhanced with raspberry, while powdery heliotrope and musk add padding to the cushiony feel. The ambered base, redolent with vanilla and brown sugar, offsets blackcurrant’s tartness.
 
The jewelled bottle incorporates a poem composed by Elen Jeres Ayoub, portrayed in Eastern Kufic calligraphy. The words have been meticulously placed so that the vertical lines create eight zones on the bottle, representing the lunar phases in each lunar calendar month to represent the passage of time.

The seasons and their times
And pressures and their effects,
Bear Diamonds as their fruit.
-Elen Jeres Ayoub

Ramune is a traditional Japanese soda pop sold in a pale blue glass bottle sealed with a marble. The drink is evocative of Japanese summer festivals, carefree times illuminated by dreamy paper lanterns.

An olfactory interpretation of a Saharan oasis at twilight. This fragrance opens with rich tart notes of North African karkade (an hibiscus infusion/tea) blended with opulent pomegranate jam and minty buchu (South Africa). At its heart, floral hibiscus petals bloom alongside creamy vanilla (Madagascar) and rich floral ylang-ylang (Comoros). The base of cedarwood Atlas (Morocco) and wisps of oud smoke leaves a seductive trail that's spellbinding.
