Olfactory Laboratory Nektar Eau De Parfum

“The first inspiration for the creation of this perfume comes from a beautiful trip to the south of Oman, Wadi Darbat: a unique place in the Middle East because all the monsoons coming from the Indian Ocean bring rain here. For this reason, instead of being desert and arid as one would expect, this region is lush and very diverse from a botanical point of view: wide rivers, large trees and a characteristic treasure that belongs to this region, the Sidr. The Sidr is a tree that has nothing in common with the Cedar tree. It is an ancient tree belonging to the Rhamnaceae family (botanical name Ziziphus spina christi), which produces beautiful red fruits and wonderful flowers. Thanks to these flowers, the bees of the area produce the richest, most exclusive and characteristic honey that one can imagine. It is well known under the name of Sidr honey from Yemen. I had the opportunity to spend a few days there with a botanist and an “Incense grower”, and I came back from this trip with the inspiration just right for Nektar. I wanted to create a perfume that captured all the different facets of Sidr honey and its places of origin.”
