Despite being the largest sand desert in the world, the Kalahari boasts a truly luxurious flora thanks to the omiramba, the ancient river beds that still provide a source of precious water. As the sun goes down in the evening, ceding its place to a star-studded canopy, the Bushmen's legend says that one can hear the stars calling. This perfume is inspired by the monumental baobab, an ancestral symbol which carries all the history of Africa in its thousand year-old trunk. Its woody notes are almost palpable as one traces ones fingers across the ribbed texture of the bark. Cri du Kalahari, created by Sonia Constant as an invitation to sample the fascination of the arid sands of the Kalahari, starts out with top notes of green pepper and cedarwood which then give way to a heart of baobab wood, olibanum and iris. A dry-down of sandalwood, patchouli and musk rounds out this bewitching woody-spicy unisex fragrance.
