Today, I share two bottles with you. I am sharing something extraordinarily rare from my archive: two 50 ml flacons of Air du Désert Marocain from Batch 001, the very first batch I mixed in 2005. See below how to get them.
In early 2005, I began working on a little project that would soon change my life: Air du Désert Marocain. What started as a joyful hobby , an attempt to bottle the magic of Morocco , turned into a life’s journey.
Over the past 20 years, it has brought me to perfume shops across continents, introduced me to uncounted perfume lovers, let me build friendships and allowed me to learn so much about perfume and the joy of scent.
For many of you, Air du Désert Marocain was not just another perfume. It was the starting point for exploring the world of niche perfumery. And for many, it became the first step into my creative universe.
A Rare Vintage Treasure: Only 2 Bottles
To celebrate this milestone, I am sharing this from my archive: two 50 ml flacons of Air du Désert Marocain from Batch 001, the very first batch I mixed in 2005.
Each bottle comes in a brown pentagonal flacon, accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity, confirming its origin and age.
This is 20-year-old Air du Désert Marocain ; matured, it evolved, its head notes shifted, yet it stayed true to its soul. The formula hasn’t changed until now, and in today’s fleeting perfume world, that constancy feels especially meaningful.
Auction & Instagram Draw
To share this celebration with the community, I am organizing:
- An auction for one of these two bottles, with 50% of the proceeds going to charity.
- An Instagram draw, where one lucky perfume lover will win the second 50 ml flacon.
Important: We will select the draw winner from countries where shipping is possible without restrictions. The winner will only cover FedEx shipping of approximative 200 $ and any local taxes or fees.
Thank you for being part of this journey. For 20 years, Air du Désert Marocain has been more than a fragrance : it has been a shared experience, a conversation, and for many, a first step into the world of niche.
Here’s to 20 years defining niche.
