It is a warm, enveloping woody amber, deep and powerful, inspired by one of the most legendary deserts in Asia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Fragrance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaklamakan takes its name from the great desert of Central Asia, a sea of ever-shifting dunes along the ancient spice routes. Stéphane Humbert Lucas tells it as a journey: the meeting between the precious raw materials of India and the smoky warmth of the resins that the caravans carried towards the West. It is a perfume as hot and dry as the desert air, deep and powerful, with a powdery softness that makes it surprisingly comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow It Evolves on Skin\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe opening is luminous: \u003cstrong\u003eCalabrian bergamot\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eneroli\u003c\/strong\u003e light up \u003cstrong\u003eosmanthus\u003c\/strong\u003e, a flower with a velvety, almost apricot-like scent.
