Atkinson's Her Majesty The Oud Eau de Parfum

Everyone from camel drivers to emirs called her Khatun. But in London the badass heroine of this perfume was known as Gertrude Bell. English adventuress, archaeologist and diplomat from the Levant. Miss Bell was 'our lady in Baghdad' during the height of the Empire. With this rich, spicy-sweet blend from Oud, we travel with Miss Bell on horseback through the burning deserts of Mesopotamia, side by side with riders from local tribes in embroidered cashmere robes. Like her, this wonderfully feminine and nomadic fragrance threads Orient and Occident together, an intertwining of precious Oud infused with Turkish roses, the red berry delights of Afternoon Tea and apricot-scented osmanthus flowers. A fearless leather accord of saddles and bridles is subtly nuanced by the powdery florality of iris. A desert whisper of vanilla expresses the Victorian elegance of this adventurous horsewoman.
