Thé Darbouka

Thé Darbouka is a unique, softly spiced fragrance with a complex interplay of warm, ambered, and herbal accords. It opens with a bright citrus burst of bergamot and a delicate cacao hint, lending a light, sweet-fruity freshness that quickly evolves into a more mystical, woody-spicy character. The core notes—immortelle, oud, styrax—create a grounded, semi-oriental depth that feels both warm and airy, reminiscent of a quiet tea ceremony in a misty mountain shrine. The scent balances dry, spiced earthiness with subtle sweetness, giving it a comforting yet intriguing air. It’s unisex in tone but skews slightly masculine on first wear, settling into a more universally wearable, richly textured dry down. The fragrance wears with moderate longevity and moderate sillage, making it most effective in autumn and winter, particularly during cooler day or night wearings. It’s often described as warm, inviting, and enveloping, with a soft leather-like nuance and a hint of dried fruit, making it ideal for those seeking a thoughtful, layered, and expressive scent.
