Shams means “sun” in Arabic, and the supreme star is indeed the glowing hearth of the fragrance, the inspiration for its woody, leather-scented incandescence, its blazing accents, the golden color of the fragrance. And the Shams formula has all the density of a spell. Legend has it that the Persian god Mithra climbed into his gold-covered chariot at dawn and whipped his horses forward to pull the sun across the sky until dusk. But at nightfall, it was swallowed by a man, only to return to life at dawn... The heat makes our hearts swell in a hand-to-hand combat of pepper, ginger and saffron. The only guide in the house of the sun is the haunting music of Oud, its main chords of tonka bean, its dreams of wood and its promises of glorious love.
