NANBAN EAU DE PARFUM

Nanban, a celebration of the history and richness of ancient trade

Discover Nanban eau de parfum, a fragrance that celebrates the opulence of ancient trade between Asia, Europe and the Americas with a woody, oriental fragrance that evokes an extraordinary journey. This composition captures a sensual, spicy opening, followed by a lush, mysterious base of incense and leather, offering a unique and evocative olfactory experience.

Imagine January 1618, in the vast and mysterious Pacific Sea, aboard a Japanese galleon carrying a delegation of samurai masters on a diplomatic mission to the West. As the galleon plies the dark ocean currents, the ship's hull is laden with sumptuous treasure: fragrant tropical woods, Spanish leather, incense, black pepper and an array of exotic spices. Enclosing the intoxicating spirit of a unique voyage of discovery, this cargo transforms every corner of the ship into a sanctuary of exotic and rich aromas, an experience never to be repeated.

The fragrance opens with a burst of Malabar black pepper, Persian saffron, a black tea accord and Chinese osmanthus, creating a sensual and spicy opening that captures the essence of spices and tropical woods. These initial notes offer a vibrant and captivating sensation, evoking the character of the sea voyage.

At the heart of Nanban eau de parfum, coffee absolute, roasted hazelnut, Spanish leather, sandalwood and myrrh intertwine to offer a rich and complex depth. These notes provide a balance between spicy, woody and opulent, intensifying the fragrance's intoxicating character with sophisticated elegance.

Finally, the base reveals a luxurious combination of incense, styrax, copaiba balsam and cade, providing a lush and mysterious finish. These base notes add a long-lasting and enveloping dimension, transforming the fragrance into an unparalleled sensorial experience.

Created in collaboration with master perfumer Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Nanban is a celebration of the history and richness of ancient trade, designed for those seeking an olfactory journey as fascinating as it is unique.
