Olfactory pyramid
The opening of Chergui is immediately seductive: sweet tobacco leaves and dry hay create a warm, smoky introduction, with a touch of sacred incense that elevates the composition. In the heart, golden honey intertwines with the delicate floral notes of rose and the powdery elegance of iris, creating a perfect balance between sweetness and sophistication. The base is pure oriental magic: warm amber, creamy sandalwood, and soft musk that envelop the skin like an invisible second skin, leaving an irresistible trail that lasts for hours.
Chergui is the perfume people smell and ask: what are you wearing? A fragrance that defies time and trends, remaining relevant and coveted more than two decades after its launch.
