The ancient practices of alchemy formed the basis of modern chemistry, and nobody was more responsible for this incredible achievement than Jãbir ibn Hayyan, the "father of chemistry." Through his many brilliant experiments, he invented processes and devices still used today, including filtration, alembic stills, and distilled alcohol, not to mention many of the advanced perfume distillation techniques still used by master craftsmen today.
Jãbir honors this incredible figure with a rich, lushly floral parfum extrait of a sophistication and refinement befitting this historic figure. Opening with crisp pink pepper and bright freesia and violet notes, the fragrance soon develops a complex floral heart, with rose, muguet and peony capturing both full-bodied elegance and bright-eyed freshness all at once. Rich veins of oud and patchouli run through the multi-faceted drydown, but the fragrance never veers to the unpleasant or heavy, as creamy vanilla and aromatic, earthy vetiver stay simultaneously smooth and lively. Bright, gorgeous and masterfully blended, Jãbir is a fragrance without peer, for a man much the same.
