Heeley Phoenician Leather Extrait de Parfum

Following the paths of the Phoenicians, Heeley’s Phoenician Leather unfolds an olfactory journey along long-forgotten Mediterranean trade routes. Like a precious manuscript, this fragrance composition unrolls to tell the story of a civilisation whose pioneering spirit brought forth glass, wine, and royal purple.

A single ingredient - labdanum concrete with its characteristic notes of smokey woods, amber, and dry fruit takes us back to the ancient land of Phoenicia (1200 BC), along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean.

The first breaths of this composition reveal a majestic accord of frankincense, its sacred smoke intertwining with the earthy depth of smoky birch. These top notes paint the picture of a merchant vessel whose sails are imbued with the scent of distant lands. At the heart of the fragrance pulses the warm resin of labdanum – a golden thread running through the entire composition. The honeyed delicacy of sun-dried dates creates a surprising contrast to the balsamic character, evoking the exotic fruits once offered in Phoenician marketplaces. The true soul of this fragrance reveals itself in the base: vetiver unfolds its earthy elegance, combining with creamy sandalwood to create a symphony of timeless masculinity. The amber-coloured shimmer of ancient resin – that mysterious substance coveted for millennia – lends the composition a sensual warmth that lingers long on the skin.

Phoenician Leather embodies the spirit of a civilisation that mastered the Mediterranean and connected cultures. A fragrance of understated elegance that, like a leather codex, preserves the secrets of times long past.
