Description
Thameen Chords opens with a vibrant burst of bergamot, complemented by the green freshness of neroli and the delicate sweetness of orange blossom, evoking a sophisticated take on a classic cologne structure. As it develops, a rich and warm heart emerges, where golden honey seamlessly blends with aromatic blond tobacco and the creamy, exotic nuances of ylang-ylang. The fragrance then settles into a deep, sensual base featuring smooth leather, earthy cypriol oil, and robust cedarwood, transforming the initial brightness into a darker, more complex and enduring scent. Inspired by George Handel's musical legacy, Chords offers a modern interpretation of British elegance with notable projection and longevity. Perfumer: Nathalie Lorson.
