Saint Raphael by Saarde

“Since I was little, visiting somebody’s place would always be associated with a scent. My Baba used to put me on his shoulders and we would go to a different house for dinner every night. Making our way to each place, we would smell hundreds of flowers mixing with the balmy Istanbul nights. With that, I learned that each place has a memory - a scented memory. Saint-Raphaël is a place in France, close to where I studied perfumery last European summer. It is also the feeling of the warm and fragrant Mediterranean air captured in a bottle of perfume. Abundant, lingering and full of joy, like pink Oleander flowers.” - Shenol Kizek
