Alchemy is an influential philosophical tradition from antiquity – the magic sense of transformation. Based on this philosophy, Kemi is the collection of unique perfumes created from pure natural raw elements through cryptic distillation techniques.

Perfume as we know it could not have taken shape without alchemic studies and practices or skilfully converting ordinary inputs into noble substances. Kemi straddles the line between the tangible and the intangible, the earthly and the ethereal, the real and the magical.


HAYAT
Taking its name from the Arabic for "life", Hayat is a complex story of the Aristotelian elements of the universe; earth, fire, air and water.
Layered with such scents as saffron, cardamom, cedar wood and oud, Hayat from the Kemi Collection is an intriguing tale of light and shade. Zesty bitter orange undertones welcome top notes of aromatic lavender, while rare and precious saffron casts an intoxicating spell.

Olfactory notes:
Top notes: bitter orange from Brazil, lavender from Bulgaria, saffron from Iran
Heart notes: ambergris, cardamom, cinnamon from Ceylon
Base notes: Atlas cedar, cypriol (nagarmotha), oud (agarwood), patchouli from Singapore
