POIVRE SAMARCANDE

"A massive, beautiful oak tree once grew in front of my house, blocking our view of the Mediterranean. Eventually, it grew ill and was felled. The scent of the cut wood etched itself in my memory. The soul of the old tree lives on in this fragrance. The name Samarcande is an homage to the city through which spice caravans once passed on their way from East to West." - Jean-Claude Ellena, perfumer
