Description
Peacock Throne
Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (of Taj Mahal fame..) gave orders for the construction of an opulent throne on a golden dais for the legendary Red Fort in Delhi. It took seven years to complete and was exuberantly decorated in rubies, emeralds, gold and peacock motifs. Sadly this luminous throne was looted as war booty in 1739 by the Persians and disappeared into history. The Egyptian jasmine and orris in Peacock Throne have a captivating pearlescent texture straight out of the Thameen midnight blue bottle, the extrait strength formula literally glistening on skin. Pink pepper adds a snappy aromatic crunch and a dash of rather sweet lemon stops the jasmine tumbling into indolic indulgence. The brioche and jam sensation of the trademark Taif rose has a touch of nutmeg over the top, imparting a deeply comforting aroma over a rubicund patchouli and moreish vanilla base. Everything glows like a private sunset.
