Bright green bergamot immediately fades into a dark, heavy amber base, spiked with indolic antique jasmine. Notes include: Bergamot, Labdanum, Vanilla, Antique Jasmine, Olibanum Resin, Sandalwood, Musk, Tobacco Leaf, Leather, Saffron, Civet. The original inspiration for Derviche was Emeraude de Coty, of which it smells nothing like! I wanted a rich old-school oriental amber fragrance with a bergamot opening but with the power of many of the fragrances coming from the Arabic perfume houses. I first developed a labdanum-rich amber base to build the fragrance around and then set out to experiment with the “power” behind it. This involved weeks of tweeking ratios between different musk and ambergris molecules until I found the balance I sought. I then gave it a heavy dose of the jasmine base I developed for Chypre-Siam. The “antique” mentioned in the fragrance notes is a reference to the older jasmine bases used around the turn of the century. I used cues from these bases in developing my own. Derviche is rich in vanilla, labdanum and jasmine -its a heavy hitter. The bergamot sets it off just enough before being completely devoured." - a note from the brand.
