The Connoisseur’s Comparison "For those who admire the clean, woody sophistication of James or the earthy vetiver soul of Elysium Pour Homme, Cri du Kalahari offers a more 'mineral-dry' and arguably more meditative alternative. It takes the sharp green of Pepper and the dryness of Baobab wood and smooths them with creamy Sandalwood and Orris, resulting in a fragrance that feels raw, grounded, and significantly more evocative of an untouched desert landscape than a traditional woody scent."

"This perfume is the story of finding myself transfixed by the sensual beauty of the Makgadikgadi pans. My sensations assailed me as a call from nature, in a single stroke. The perfume has a simple vertical structure comprising notes that simply busth forth. Green pepper is followed by an assemblage of sandalwood and cedar to which I added a subtle touch of patchouli in order to bring out the aroma of the emblematic baobabs."
