The story behind the bottle.
Russian Adam crafted Ottoman Empire by Areej Le Doré in 2017, a fragrance that embodies the rich traditions of Oriental perfumery. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of rose and frangipani, which soon gives way to warm spices like pepper and cardamom. At its heart lies an intricate balance of woody notes such as Indian oud and sandalwood, underscored by the depth of myrrh and oakmoss. This fragrance is neither overly sweet nor overpowering; instead, it captures a sense of historical elegance with its complex layers.
Apply two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms over an hour as the aromatic top notes settle into the woody base. It's best for evening wear when its rich warmth can be fully appreciated.
