"Paris - 1918 Cyrille et Sophie. The sound of the eclectic drums and vibrant African music caught their attention as they were strolling through the narrow streets of Paris near Quartiers Latin. The happy couple felt attracted to the wild beats of the drums as they winked at each other’s eyes to enter the club and dance their hearts out on the last day of their trip as they held hands and rushed through the open doors of the Club 'Africano'. Memories of that night lingered with them and was permanently carved in their hearts forever. Africano takes you to the land of magical dance and reminds you to live your life to the fullest in a brilliant bridge between the Parisian avant-gardism and African culture. It starts with neroli, African marigold and bergamot brilliantly making whiffs of airiness pleasures till they they are laid down on a harmonious base of black amber and Moroccan cedarwood. Africano is guaranteed to get you in that state of mind." - a note from the brand. Top notes: black currant, tagetes, African orange flower, amalfi lemon, bergamot Middle notes: cyclamen, jasmine, violet Base notes: Virginia cedar, vetiver, musk, amber
