Taklamakan
Stéphane Humbert Lucas 777 · Eau de Parfum (EDP) · 2016
≈ $290 · 50ml · approx. retail
Named for the great desert of the Silk Road, Taklamakan opens luminous with Calabrian bergamot, osmanthus, and neroli before a warm heart of Chinese cedar and earthy patchouli. Smoky vanilla, resinous labdanum, benzoin, and soft musk mirror the treasures traded along the ancient spice route.
