Reine Makeda – Reine de Saba
In a world where femininity intertwines with royal elegance, Reine Makeda is born—a living tribute to the power and grace of the Queen of Sheba. Makeda was not merely a symbol of beauty, but an icon of wisdom and freedom.
This fragrance was masterfully crafted by renowned perfumer Anne Flipo from the house of IFF, who drew her inspiration from her first encounter with the legend of the Queen of Sheba during an exhibition at the Arab World Institute in Paris.
There, she discovered a world rich in incense, spices, and herbs—a realm that adventurous souls long to explore. That olfactory universe found its way into this bold and refined composition.
The fragrance journey begins with a captivating top note that fuses the freshness of mandarin with the soft nuance of ambrette seeds (LMR) and the elegant touch of Egyptian violet leaf, adding a leathery green facet.
The heart of the fragrance pulses with life. Orris blends seamlessly with a luminous rose absolute (LMR) and luxurious jasmine, forming a floral procession that expresses refined femininity and confident strength.
Then comes the majestic base—a royal statement of depth and elegance. Creamy sandalwood intertwines with resinous Himalayan cedarwood, while woody vanilla (LMR) and bold musk ground the composition. A final touch of cashmeran adds a velvety softness that enhances the perfume’s lasting sillage.
Reine Makeda is more than just a perfume.
It is a story written with every spray.
A fragrant signature made for the woman who announces her presence with grace, lives freely, and leaves an unforgettable impression.
