REYNA imbues the skin with an exotic and intriguing charm, with a sweet and decisive fragrance that encompasses the regenerating power of a passionate embrace. REYNA is a fragrance with powerful and sensual notes, a true weapon of seduction, an almost palpable perfume with enveloping and mouth-watering nuances, a sweetness that tells a story of difficult coincidences, without ever becoming cloying or banal. REYNA enhances the bewitching power of Mexican Vanilla, with its deep, dry sweetness, through notes of Peruvian Absolute and Cocoa Pirazine, together with Siamese Benzoin, Candied Fig and Sweet Almonds. It seemed that it could not live far from its homeland, because the beautiful orchid withered without bearing fruit, thus making the Vanilla pod extremely rare and precious! The Mexican Vanilla, with its unusual shape, can only be pollinated by the Melipona, a small stingless bee native to Mexico. REYNA is MONOM 's interpretation of the most sensual of raw materials, the Queen of essences, the natural absolute of Vanilla. Please note: Perfumes are only shipped to EU. A touch of mint tea and dried fruit pays homage to the Tuareg caravan riders.īase notes: Amber, Incense, Gum acacia, Velvione Gum acacia, a syrup made from acacia sap, provides sugary sweetness balanced by salty amber and incense. The scent is as an olfactory impression of gold, with radiant warmth from saffron and blood orange, and the glossy, luxurious musk velvione (a material that has been described as pressing the nose to the skin of a newborn’s scalp). In spite of this, and the fact that it was the only obstacle for miles around, a truck driver that had drunkenly fallen asleep behind the wheel crashed into it in 1973, and killed it. This loneliest tree in the world was one of very few landmarks along the Azalai, a sacred testament to the resilience of life, that had guided caravans for centuries. Breaking its branches for firewood or letting the camels eat from the leaves were considered blasphemy. It’s easy to see how the Tuareg caravan riders, themselves desert survival specialists, held the tree and its amazing fortitude in highest regard. This acacia, known simply as The Tree of Ténéré, was the last surviving plant from a time when the desert was less parched than it is today, thanks to roots reaching deep down into a water pocket, an underground pool hidden more than 30 meters below the desert.

This was the most isolated tree in the world, 150 km from any other.

Along the route stood one single acacia tree, the only living thing in an ocean of sand. The Azalai is a caravan route through the Ténéré region of the Saharan desert where camel trains have transported salt and gold for a thousand years.
