KALININGRAD MYSTERY

Description

ALGHABRA PARFUMS is a tribute to the Old City of Damascus, ‘The City of Jasmine’ and a tribute to the perfumer MOHAMMED KHAIR ALGHABRA, one of the first “Attars” of the Middle East region.

Kaliningrad Regional Amber Museum is allegedly the Eighth Wonders of the World. A lot of speculation was made around the Amber Room but was never found. Therefore, this scent was a dedication to that mystery. This project triggered our appetite to create a fragrance which can convey the story somehow.

Kaliningrad Mystery opens up with a very distinctive Cypress note. Exactly like the smell of a forest on a rainy humid day. Slowly afterwards the combination of Bulgarian Roses and Jasmine starts to bloom. Allowing a confident entrance for the spicy dark notes of Incense, Patchouli and Pepper to appear at heart.

The suspense never ends in this perfume, at the base you smell a unique mixture of Laotian Oud & Amber supported with Sandalwood and Cedar in order to have a Woody base reminiscent of a burned tree in the middle of the above mentioned forest on that day.

“The search for the fabled Amber Room continued. In 1946, Konigsberg became part of Russia and was renamed Kaliningrad.

Two major investigations yielded no sign of the room. Soviet specialists continued to explore hundreds of locations around the city and in the ruins of the town’s castle.

In the 2000s, teams with more advanced equipment continued the search and found artworks and jewellery in a hidden part of the castle’s basement.

But still no Amber Room”.
