Alghabra Parfums Bosphorus Pearl Extrait

Description

Bosphorus Pearl is a poetic homage to Istanbul's Maiden's Tower, evoking a sunset cruise along the strait. Fresh green muguet and violet open the composition, sparkling against a lush floral heart of ylang-ylang and jasmine tea, before settling into a creamy amber-and-musk base with a dry-wood finish. Reviewers reach for comparisons to soft, romantic ambers like Amouage Jubilation 25 or Guerlain Insolence when describing its powdery-floral warmth.
