In 2002, the Japanese fashion house Comme des Garcons presented a collection of truly magnificent unisex perfumes called Series 3: Incense. It includes five fragrances that combine luxurious notes of mysterious incense.
Jaisalmer fragrance gives the feeling of an unforgettable journey to the largest Indian state of Rajasthan, where the fortified city of Jaisalmer is located. It was here that one of the most important stops of the trade route, better known as the Silk Road, was located. Jaisalmer fragrance composition includes incense, which in Jaisalmer was one of the traditional components of Hindu rituals, and, as in Catholicism, symbolized purification and prayer. Its magical accords, underlined by refined and noble woody notes, are complemented by spicy spices, a combination of cardamom, cinnamon, pepper, benzoin, guaiac wood and amber.
Rich and exotic, Jaisalmer is more feminine than the other Series 3 fragrances, but it also perfectly emphasizes the strength and nobility of a real man.
