Sample of Ambre Topkapi

(natural spray)

The palace of Topkapi in Turkey is the official residence of Ottoman sultans between 1465 and 1853. The Place is built on a breathtaking site overlooking the Bosphorus straights and Marmara Sea. The fragrance is based on a opposition between a strong marine breeze and a powerful woodsy/spicy accord suggesting the palace itself. Whilst the finish is warm and ambery the start is fresh, aromatic and spicy
