Reem Acra

Description

The fragrance opens with a shimmering introduction that is achieved by a fusion of orange blossom top notes and a lingering blend of pear and bergamot. Ginger brings a voluptuous heart that passes through a delicate bouquet of jasmine, lily of the valley and blooming peony to create a gentle warming sensation. The back carries with it an elegant trail of signature amber and hand-selected cedar wrapped in sophisticated patchouli and warm musk.

The Reem Acra fragrance reinvents couture perfumery, combining heritage ingredients with a unique artistic vision, to convey modern elegance.

History

Perfumer Pierre Negrin drew creative inspiration from the stories of Ms. Acra’s past and her present day fashion collections. Moved by the elegant fabrics and the rich golden amber tones that lined the runway, Pierre opted for the warmer notes in the perfumer’s palette to recreate a special scent reminiscent of the cedar wood forests in Lebanon. To complement the luxurious draping and ethereal layers of Ms. Acra’s designs, sleek, sheer and translucent amber notes offer a sense of movement while orange blossom and jasmine, two of Ms. Acra’s personal favorites help to round out the fragrance. “The sleek, sheer use of a classic note like amber is a nod to Ms. Acra’s heritage. Much like her designs, Reem Acra Eau de Parfum is warm, sultry, mysterious and rich. It is both classically elegant and uniquely contemporary,” said Negrin.

Bottle

Inspired by the appreciation for tradition and modern glamour, renowned packaging designer, Doug Lloyd of Lloyd & Co. opted for an elegantly sleek glass flacon. The luminous glass is embellished with Ms. Acra’s insignia, a whimsical dove pattern that reflects regal tradition from the East. The glass is bordered in rich gold and topped with an architecturally modern cap, while the red detail on the collar is a tribute to royalty.
