About

Samar Kand opens with an immediate hit of bright bergamot and sweet orange, providing a juicy, uplifting start before settling into a vibrant heart of blackcurrant, osmanthus, and geranium, softened by creamy ylang-ylang. The base unfurls into a rich, complex drydown with warm caramel, earthy patchouli, and smooth sandalwood, deepened by a nuanced touch of oud and a comforting musk-tonka bean embrace.
