Desert Lily

The desert lily flowers after rain that may not come for years, and flowers anyway, which is the closest thing Egyptian botany has to a statement of faith.

The fragrance is built around rose absolute, but it is not a rose soliflore: pink pepper cuts the opening, neroli and orris keep the heart from turning sweet, and sandalwood and benzoin hold it close to the skin. It is the fragrance the atelier recommends most often to someone who says they do not wear florals.
