Description
The story of Akkad:
This mythical story tells of Sargon, the powerful sovereign of Akkad, who was brought up by Aqqi, the gardener of the great marshes between the Tigris and the Euphrates. Essence of Akkad, fortified with golden amber, is a gift from the beautiful Ishtar, who loves and protects Sargon. This blend contains all the most precious balms and elixirs from Punt, and also those from the islands of the Great Sea. This amber is the light that shines on Sargon’s kingdom… it is his empire’s most valuable treasure.
Why we're addicted: Perfumer Delphine Thierry imagined a liquid amber elixir that is both spicy and luminous, the opposite of the dark, mystical ambers that bring to mind the smoke of frankincense in ancient temples.
