A perfume for contemplation
The moment I smelled Thebes I, I knew it was special. There are compositions that intrigue, those that you like, the ones you love, and a few that strike a certain chord, deep inside. Those are special.
To me, it is a perfume of self-reflection. A composition of solitude. It feels cold and dry. There's a vague brightness at first from the aldehydes, and the muguet accord, even some sweetness from resins. But what dominates is this dry, dusty, worn leather accord, together with earthy vetiver and an orris almost chalky in texture. Sprinkled with a dash of animalic accords. I always picture this as the smell of a tomb, being inside a stone pyramid. Outside there's light and fresh air, but as you walk inside, darkness takes over. The stone is cold, the air is damp, the dust has gathered over the leather garments for centuries, and there's a lingering memory of the ceremonial rites that used to take place inside, sending shivers down your spine.
A little treasure that I usually enjoy in private, contemplating...
