Eau Triple Al Kassir

Eau Triple Al Kassir, the perfume of Oriental shores as 19th-century scholars dreamt them and explorers found them: Egypt and its treasures. At the heart of the perfume lies sandalwood, a sacred tree in India and in the Middle East for millennia: a ‘gift from the gods’, believed to stimulate the opening of the third eye chakra. In Ancient Egypt, sandalwood was a key component of Kyphi, or Kapet, a sacred fragrance used to honour Sun god Râ. 

Like the riches buried in the Valley of the Kings, Eau Triple Al Kassir invites us to possession. An intoxicating and sumptuous parade, led by cardamom, the most beloved of oriental spices, cinnamon, ginger, clove, and highlighted by the fresh rosy touch of geranium, the voluptuous roundness of patchouli and sensual hints of osmanthus flower, flamboyant with honey and leather.  

Now we are approaching the inner sanctum of the gods, with supremely mystical, precious resins and woods, smouldering, everlasting embers: Manilla elemi, a lemony oleoresin, amber- and vanilla-scented cistus and benzoin, on a perfect woody fire of cedar, gaiac, and gurjan wood.  

Al Kassir enshrouds in a unique, dazzling cloud, evoking the words of British archaeologist Howard Carter in November 1922 upon discovering Tutankhamun’s tomb: ‘[…] as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold – everywhere the glint of gold.’

Crafted in the Officine’s laboratory vials, this water-based perfume is both gentle for the skin and powerful enough that it leaves a nicely balanced sillage. A technical feat that took two years to design before it reached perfection.  

The Eaux Triples are miscible in a unique, exclusive aqueous solution.

Alcohol and ethanol-free, these fragrances instantly and powerfully incarnate the Officine’s mesmerizing scents. 

A tangled web of fragrances at the confines of civilisations; the musical and shimmering scent of silk pours out its colours from the arms of merchants at the feet of sultanas. Embroidered with the gold of sandalwood, hemmed with the geranium’s hissing satin, lined with the silvery velvet of cardamom, its joy secretly weaves harem conspiracies.

Gently shake the Eau Triple flacon before vaporising to revive the water emulsion. Its alcohol-free formulation may also entice you to perfume your bare skin or scent your hair.

Do not spray in the eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
