Almas 5ml

An original perfume in a 5ml travel decant

Almas is the Arabic word for diamond, so once again we enter the realm of Boadicea the Victorious’ obsession with precious stones.

Almas is an intoxicating floral scent of undulating petal edges and plush ivory beauty, a study in grace, of illuminated power, mystery and moods. Like so much fine jewellery, skin and desire are needed to bring perfume to life.

Classic Boadicea notes of oud, rose, jasmine, sandalwood and saffron are laid over herbaceous aromatics of artemisia (often a flavouring in Vermouth and gin), cardamom, the pungent berry-ness of cassis and tropical pineapple. The velveteen rosaceous heart is intriguingly lit up by neroli and clove, with its potent umami & carnation odours.

What makes Almas so beautiful and interesting is the textured swoon of the formulation. Vermillion roses and angular aromatics against a tremulous blue sky.
