OLFACTORY JOURNEY
I am a modern chypre, recomposed thanks to a Patchouli in two stages. One sublimates my floral heart where Rose Damascena is queen, the other combines with Cocoa Powder in the background and reveals its dark and warm notes. In the top note, the fruity and citrus scents support the impertinent trail of fragile Violet Leaves.
I am like the Queen of Sheba, mysterious, who continues to intrigue century after century. I am Sublime because bewitching, I am Balkiss because elusive and moving. I am Sublime Balkiss.
A scent of crossed emotions… “I discovered with fascination these women of black and white American cinema of the 1940s, indifferent and terribly elegant, who gave off a mysterious, complex and modest scent. At the same time I discovered Ireland. It was an olfactory shock: the smell of rain, fresher and sweeter than that which falls on the lands of Provence, the smell of the wind, mineral and yet velvety, the delicate smell of barely sweet heather. A land of fire under the damp moor...
Last winter, I rediscovered these sensations and over the lines the subject took shape: a chypre. Wearing this perfume for me was a new sensation, daring this personal pleasure. And the name came, by surprise, that of the Queen of Sheba, a beautiful, accomplished and mysterious woman, of whom we know nothing or very little, but who many centuries later still fascinates us.
Sublime because it is captivating, Balkiss because it is elusive and moving. » - Celine Ellena.
