Sekhem Ambré

Sekhem is the word the Egyptians used for the vital force that animates a body — not the soul, but the power that moves it. The temple perfumers built their resin blends to carry it: amber warmed on a brazier until the room itself felt awake.

Sekhem Ambré opens bright and dry, pink pepper over mandarin leaf, before the resins arrive. Immortelle and saffron hold the middle with an almost honeyed weight, and labdanum, tonka, and Haitian vetiver take it down into skin. It is the warmest fragrance the house has released, and the first composed entirely in the new Cairo atelier.
