Description

Samarkand is a refined leather fragrance from the Timeless Cities Collection by Contes de Parfums. Created by Ane Ayo, it draws inspiration from the legendary Silk Road city, blending rich leather, radiant florals, aromatic woods, and precious resins into a composition that feels both timeless and contemporary.

The fragrance opens with smooth leather wrapped in the soft sweetness of almond and the luminous freshness of orange blossom, creating an elegant and distinctive introduction. At its heart, jasmine, aromatic cypress, and warm clove bring floral richness and subtle spice, adding depth without overwhelming the composition. The dry down reveals a sophisticated blend of frankincense, cedar, and musk, leaving a clean, woody, and slightly smoky trail that lingers beautifully on the skin.

Sophisticated, luxurious, and effortlessly elegant, Samarkand is an exceptional signature fragrance for those who appreciate modern leather compositions enhanced by refined florals, aromatic woods, and warm resinous nuances.
