Al Sahra

by Émilie Coppermann

The Different Company Al Sahra is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Émilie Coppermann. Al Sahra opens with Violet, Salt, and Mineral, settles into a heart of Lily and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Incense. The Different Company's Al Sahra carries a Favourite verdict, a violet floral-led wear.

This one's a proper grower, shifting from an initial metallic bite to a creamy, incense-laden warmth. Its performance divides opinion, but give it a bit of time on skin and you might just find yourself smitten. Not for everyone, but those who 'get it' really do.

Its moderate sillage makes it suitable for office wear, as noted by some, but its unique character lends itself better to more intimate or dressier settings. The warm, balsamic, and incensy accords are ill-suited for energetic activities.

About

Al Sahra opens with an intriguing, almost cool mineral and salt accord, brightened by violet, giving it a somewhat metallic edge. This soon mellows into a heart of subtle lily and a whisper of cinnamon, adding a delicate spiced sweetness. The dry-down is where it truly shines, unfolding into a rich, creamy blend of balsamic labdanum, smooth sandalwood, earthy patchouli, and soft, contemplative incense. It’s an amber-woody scent that feels both ancient and modern, with a unique warmth.
