A Pilgrimage in a Bottle
Hunayn's Bakkah is not merely scent, but rather an olfactory pilgrimage to a sacred space. Drawing inspiration from the ancient name for Mecca, Bakkah embodies the spiritual feeling of the holy city and the traditions that remain to this day. This is a powerful and thoughtful fragrance, and is meditative and moving.
Bakkah is a scent that demands to be respected and contemplated. As it opens with a bright and mildly prickly Omani frankincense, you are taken to an ancient and distant past rich in sacred rites and holy resins. The frankincense is not a fast, volatile top note though, but a vital piece that permeates the structure for the entire dry down, establishing an intensely luminous balsamic, yet meditative and spiritual note.
After the frankincense explosion mellows, you will sense a majestic Taif rose. This is not a shy and pretty rose, this is a complex velvety and rich floral note with a hint of honey and spices. The juxtaposition of the holy frankincense and earthly rose gives a harmonious visual balance that is mesmerizing.
The dry down of Bakkah is where the true depth and complexity of the fragrance is revealed. The base of rich, animalic Assam Oud gives the fragrance a dark, leathery and slightly woody base that seamlessly blends with the warmth of natural musk and the salty-sweet, nuanced scent of ambergris. The base notes serve as a grounding and lasting anchor for the brighter top and heart notes, creating a fragrance that feels both ancient and alive.
It is a testament to the power of scent to evoke memory, emotion and a sense of the sacred. Truly a masterpiece!
