Aksoum
Aksoum by Reine de Saba is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women and men. Aksoum was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Dominique Ropion. Top notes are Petitgrain, Neroli and Bergamot; middle notes are Orange Blossom, Egyptian Jasmine and Tuberose; base notes are Musk, Sandalwood and Patchouli. It opens with Petitgrain, Neroli. The heart moves into Orange Blossom, Egyptian Jasmine. In the dry-down, Musk, Sandalwood give it its base. From the way people describe wearing it, this comes across best as elegant, light, and airy feel; ideal for healthcare and close-contact work; masterfully blended by dominique ropion. The trade-off is that it may feel disappointing projection for high price point; scent profile feels redundant to some; too light for fans of bold scents depending on taste and setting. Taken together, the feedback points to a scent that feels easy to understand on first wear, but still depends heavily on whether the greener, sweeter, or sharper nuances fit your preferences.
