Description

Pompeii is a captivating oriental floral fragrance from Contes de Parfums' Timeless Cities Collection, created by renowned perfumer Pierre-Constantin Guéros. Inspired by the legendary ancient Roman city, it explores the contrast between flourishing beauty and the enduring power of nature through an unforgettable composition of spice, florals, smoke, and warmth.

The fragrance opens with the intriguing richness of red wine intertwined with aromatic clove, creating a bold and intoxicating introduction. At its heart, creamy tuberose and luminous white flowers are enveloped by an evocative volcanic ash accord, adding a distinctive smoky mineral character that sets the composition apart. The dry down reveals a luxurious blend of amber, smooth vanilla, and soft musk, leaving a warm, refined, and long-lasting trail that is both dramatic and sophisticated.

Bold, mysterious, and deeply atmospheric, Pompeii transforms an ancient story into a modern olfactory masterpiece, offering a unique signature fragrance for those drawn to rich florals, smoky nuances, and timeless elegance.
