Sahraa by Fragrance Du Bois, launched in 2013 and crafted by Francois Merle-Baudoin, captures the essence of the Arabian Desert through its complex layers of oud and rose. The fragrance opens with a burst of grapefruit, giving way to geranium and jasmine that harmonize with the rich, woody notes of patchouli and sandalwood. Saffron and vanilla add warmth and depth, while black pepper introduces an unexpected spiciness. Sahraa is not just a scent but an immersive experience, designed for perfume connoisseurs who appreciate the refined sophistication of natural, sustainably-sourced ingredients.

Application Tips
Apply Sahraa with two sprays to ensure its complex layers unfold fully. The grapefruit top note fades quickly, giving way to the richer base notes of oud and vanilla that last throughout the day. This fragrance is best enjoyed close to skin rather than filling a room.
