Fragrance house Scent of Africa is set to launch its 100ml formats and discovery sets exclusively at the upcoming TFWA World Exhibition in Cannes (Green Village, H36).
The latest scents from the Eternal Legends Collection, Fik and Gleti, are key fragrances being introduced in the 100ml bottle.
The release represents a key step for the brand, responding to market demands with an upgraded, larger version of its signature bottle.
Fik and Gleti are the fourth duo in the Eternal Legends Collection, inspired by African mythology, with each scent made from rare ingredients sourced across the continent.
Designed for the confident and charismatic man, Fik is inspired by the Efik people of Nigeria and the sky god Abassi.
The fragrance combines fresh, aromatic notes of rosemary and myrtle from Tunisia with the spiciness of Nigerian ginger. Egyptian geranium and fir balsam add depth, creating what is described as a captivating and sophisticated trail.
Perfumer Nelly Hachem-Ruiz compared Fik to “a vibrant and mysterious twilight where the triumph of wild nature prevails”.
Gleti captures the spirit of the moon goddess from the Fon people of the Dahomey kingdom, evoking dynamic and strong femininity.
Made for the woman who exudes grace and elegance, the fragrance opens with a pear note and white flowers. It develops with Tunisian neroli and Egyptian jasmine, and finishes with Madagascar ylang-ylang and Egyptian cassie. A base of musks and woods adds depth and character.
Perfumer Julien Rasquinet called Gleti “an olfactory jewel, made of noble materials for undisputed nocturnal elegance”.
The range has made a notable mark on the global fragrance industry, highlightng African innovation and artistry, the company said. ✈
