The inspiration

Wedding in Tipaza (1938) by Albert Camus is one of perfumer’s favorite texts. In the story Camus vividly depicts summer and the lives of youths in Algerian coastal town of Tipaza. There are the Roman ruins and the sea below, beautiful nature and beautiful young people and lots and lots of sun.

“Possession of the wave”… the words of Camus resonated in perfumer’s head as he wandered among the ancient stones scattered between sea and mountains.

The perfume formula features references to the Algerian flora and the ever-present sea: bergamot trees, wild lemongrass, peppermint, Mediterranean pine and jujube tree and an accord of sea salt.
