Wazamba
An explosion of joy, of religious exaltation, a bursting-forth of the spirit,
inspired by the African musical instrument the great wazamba.
Marc-Antoine paints a picture of the ancient mysteries of the Sacred Grove, the Golden Bough, the depths of the forest sacred to the spirits, the gods and the nymphs, the sudden awe-inspiring terrifying apparition of the Great God Pan. We enter an aromatic pine wood where a thousand shimmering facets
of incense vibrate and perfume the bosky air.
Sacred oils of myrrh, sandalwood, cypress and opoponax remind us of the massive
lotus-pillared halls of Karnak at Luxor: we swoon with emotion and are empowered by scent...
The base notes of this superb fragrance are resinous and amber, with
delicately placed but enlivening notes of sweet apple (we pause to remember the Primeval Garden of Eden) and fir balsam. Lets all become new initiates and neophytes of the cult of WAZAMBA... we converted to Marc-Antoine some
years ago!
