≈ $325 · 60ml · approx. retail
Sheiduna, Puredistance's first oriental composition, was created by Cécile Zarokian and launched in late 2016, inspired by golden sand dunes at desert sunset. A citrus-aldehydic opening gives way to a spiced rose heart and a warm base of benzoin, frankincense, myrrh and vanilla. It was later succeeded within the Magnificent XII rotation.
