What does Aksoum smell like?

It opens with a bright citrus lift of bergamot, orange, neroli and lemon, while black pepper and camphor add a slightly spicy, green edge. At the heart, orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose form a full floral core, softened by coconut into something creamy and sweet. The base of patchouli, sandalwood and Atlas cedar gives it a woody footing, and musk closes it with a powdery warmth. Aksoum is a 2022 release composed by Dominique Ropion; Kilian Voulez-vous coucher avec Moi and Evody Fleur d'Oranger have a close profile.
