The alcoholate of Karo Karounde (Leptactina Senegambica) is an extract obtained by cold washing the concrete of the flower harvested in Guinea Conakry. Its rare and precious fragrance is highly prized in the luxury perfume industry. It is a perfume in itself, exceptionally rich. If its flowers are sometimes confused with Jasmine as much for their resemblance as for their Fragrance, it is nevertheless given a more floral side close to Ylang The whole is beautifully accompanied by unmistakable green and spicy notes.
In olfaction, Karo Karounde alcoholate allows you to refocus on yourself, to accept and love yourself. As such, it combats all types of depression. A rare product that we like to keep on hand at all times.
Some ingredients are so rich that they impose themselves as perfumes, subtle blends made by the best perfumer of all: nature itself. This reality, however rare, Karo Karounde’s alcoholate fully transcends it. The dizziness of its incompressible olfactory spectrum is beyond compare: more floral and narcotic than anything else, as green as it is spicy, as animalic as it is finely smoked. It is greedy, velvety, balmy, powdery, beaten, musky, etc… A real olfactory nose-thumbing, which will remind any perfumer-creator to be humble (and with a smile).
Heart, Base
It is difficult to join the dance of Karo Karounde without altering or concealing it… but floral notes such as Jasmine or Orange Blossom will accompany and enrich it. For the subtlety of the basenotes, the infusion of Ambergris is good for it.
