Empreinte: The first Courrèges perfume
The Déserts d'Orient collection is aimed particularly at Guerlain customers in the Middle East, however, in Europe, we will have the pleasure of discovering these wonderful bottles. Let's go together in the majestic volutes of the magnificent Mythical Oriental Incense.
Mythical Oriental Incense or the beauty of smoky musk signed Thierry Wasser for Guerlain perfumes
The Guerlain house is opening a new chapter of exceptional olfactory creations with Les Déserts d'Orient. Composed on the same selection criteria as the rare essences of Art and Material, the fragrances of the Deserts d'Orient offered by Thierry Wasser are intended to pay homage to the legendary melting pot of scents between East and West, including the perfumers of the family. Guerlain have been demonstrating since Shalimar or more recently Nahéma. Thus Mythical Oriental Incense, like Dream of a Summer Wood or Pearly Rose of the Desert, celebrates an Orient made of flowery and spicy wonders, rich and powerful raw materials that are delicate and intoxicating.
Incense Mythique d'Orient will therefore perfectly represent the love of the house of Guerlain for the Middle East through a meeting between an elegant and very French rose and an animal amber gray, wild but with the strength of an exquisite sensuality. .
Thierry Wasser will go away to meet the most beautiful growers of flowering essences but also to collect opinions and comments from this Orient of which the Guerlain house never ceases to dream. In the end, Encens Mythique d'Orient is not really an oriental fragrance, it is sensual and delicate but much more smoky and disturbing than opulent and burning.

But its boundless softness and exceptional depth come from the true and majestic New Zealand ambergris, specially selected by Thierry Wasser for this fragrance. An enigmatic opus to the glory of a universe dedicated to eternity. »Guerlain for Encens Mythique d'Orient.

We thus discover that ambergris, star of Mythical Incense of the East, does not come from a single source of raw material but from multitudes of categories of amber collected in New Zealand. Is this the reason for the animal beauty of this Mythical Oriental Incense? Certainly !
However if Mythical Oriental Incense is intended to be mysterious, it nevertheless opens with very European notes of centifolia rose and aldehydes. A flowery and elegant opening that will blend in the heart with the absolute woody powers of vetiver and patchouli. The saffron will bring its spicy heat to this chiaroscuro heart where the pink berries will refresh it. Finally, the communelle of ambergris from New Zealand will come to mix with the foam while letting itself be invaded by a note of disturbing and sensual incense like a breath of hot air in the middle of the desert ...
