Khôl: one of the world's earliest cosmetics and the essence of ancient beauty. Think Elizabeth Taylor as Cleopatra, immaculate jet-black lines of khôl framing piercing violet eyes, infusing what was already stunning with near-mystical seductive power. Khôl de Bahrein is a tribute to the elegance and ingenuity of the ancient world, where the untold balsamic depths of a sumptuous amber-benzene heart frame a strikingly lovely violet and iris led floral with masterful precision. Khôl de Bahrein opens with complimentary waves of deep, resinous amber and an iris both richly earthy and subtly sweet. As the iris evolves to an almost candied sweetness, the violet and ambergris weave seamlessly in, lending a powdery softness that anchors without ever diluting. It is an exquisite balancing act achievable only with the finest natural iris and ambergris, highest-quality ingredients that also result in a projection and longevity impossible with mundane synthetics. Presented in a genuine gold-lettered transparent bottle, adorned with a unique hand-milled gold honeycomb top and a small faceted peach-colored Swarovski crystal, Khôl de Bahrein is that rarest of treasures: a celebration of timeless beauty that proves itself equally beautiful, inside and out.
