There are women who blossom even in the most adverse situations. They become even stronger and more beautiful with every challenge they may face. The kind of woman who creates poetry with every word, who fills dark corners with colour and empty moments with happiness.
These are delicate yet strong women; women that open up new pathways. These strong women, tender so as to understand a child, then rising to take down even giants. Women who interconnect with life, who serve as a link between lives. These women are desert flowers, beautiful and delicate in a harsh terrain. It is an honour to be before them.
“Desert Flowers” is a collection of fragrances created as a tribute to these women.
Each fragrance from the “Desert Flowers” collection has been inspired by a special flower as well as certain qualities these women possess.
