Makassar

Makassar by Keiko Mecheri is an exquisite fragrance that centers around the rare and precious sandalwood, designed to cater to the tastes of the modern dandy. This scent is a harmonious blend that highlights the nobility of sandalwood, elevated by the elegant accords of rose and ambergris. Its composition is further enriched by the warmth of precious woods and balsamic notes, creating a fragrance that is both sensuous and sophisticated.

The fragrance opens with the timeless beauty of rose, introducing a delicate floral elegance that immediately captures attention. This rose note is lush and vibrant, setting a luminous tone for the fragrance and complementing the deep richness of the sandalwood that follows.

At the heart of Makassar, the rare sandalwood takes center stage. This sandalwood is not only rich and creamy but also exudes a warm, woody aroma that is both calming and captivating. It is beautifully paired with ambergris, which adds a subtle, marine-like depth and a touch of refinement to the composition. The combination of these notes highlights the noble character of the sandalwood, making it the pivot around which the entire fragrance revolves.

The base of the fragrance is where the sensuous warmth truly unfolds. Patchouli introduces an earthy, slightly sweet dimension, enhancing the depth and complexity of the scent. Benzoin adds a balsamic sweetness that is comforting and rich, while tonka bean contributes its creamy, slightly spicy facets, rounding out the fragrance with a warm and inviting finish.
