Shaya's picks

If you love Harmattan, Shaya would reach for these

The Story

The combination of geranium and Texas cedar in the same fragrance evokes the freshness and impetuosity of the harmattan. This olfactory structure rests on a base of supple leather, reminiscent of the tanneries of North Africa.

Inspiration

Here I wanted to work on the infinity of the desert and the complexity of this wind that blows both hot and cold, in the image of shadow and light that are juxtaposed dune by dune. The cold breeze of the harmattan and the shadow of the dunes are reflected in the geranium leaves, contrasting with the more structured cedar leaves to bring out the texture of the grain. I’ve translated the warm breeze of the harmattan and the light reflected from the dunes into the masterful depth of supple leather, adding density and mystery to the fragrance.

The House

Ella K is an imaginary heroine — an explorer of distant centuries, dreamed up by founder and perfumer Sonia Constant — and the house's fragrances tell her story. The bottle is shaped after Sonia's camera; the dragonfly hallmark stands for metamorphosis and courage. Every scent is a postcard from a place Ella has been.
