DOHA - Paris Gallery, the flagship brand of Al Fahim Holdings, announced the launch of the House of Amouage's latest fragrance Ciel both for men and women. It is the latest fragrance to undergo the updating and re-working treatment.
"We don't believe women want unnaturally coloured fragrances these days so we have removed the colouring agent from the new Ciel and reformulated it with a higher perfume concentration transforming it into the Eau de Parfum category and thereby giving it longer lasting properties," said Christopher Chong, Amouage Creative Director.
Ciel, both for women and men have been hailed by perfume experts as fragrances which evoke memories of a rain shower on a hot summer's day, providing a cooling and invigorating effect.
Ciel for women is a pure, delicate and floral fragrance, featuring notes of gardenia, cyclamen, jasmine and water-lily in the top notes, with a base of silver frankincense. Ciel for men is a fresh fougère with top notes of lavender, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley over a warm, green base of vetyver, cedar and silver frankincense.
The new bottles have been designed to reflect the heritage of the brand and form an element of continuity with the previous bottles to become recognizable the world over as signature pieces of the House of Amouage. The men's bottle is inspired by the Omani Khanjar and the cap is reminiscent of ivory, whereas the women's bottle is inspired by classical Arabian architecture and the cap is reminiscent of the beautiful dome of the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat.
