At the heart of this Eau is the potent power of Somali incense. It comes from trees on the edge of the Sabia desert, which bleed their crystal-clear resin into the air to protect themselves from the extreme heat. "They say 'The situation was too hot for me to handle.' or 'A chill ran down my spine.' I simply applied a similar concept to an Eau. The hero is a tree during a heatwave. Without air conditioning, the heat would kill it. When it is cut, it cries. Frankincense helps this scent preserve an icy cool." - From trees on the edge of the Sabia desert, Somali frankincense is a plant with a refreshing sap and showcased in Serge Lutens' L'Eau froide. Enhanced with notes of mint and pink berries, as well as juniper and white musk, this is an iconic crystalline fragrance.
