THE CORA - THAMEEN

THE STORY: The Cora Sun-Drop Diamond is the world's largest pear-shaped yellow diamond, weighing 110.3 carats. Coloured by tiny amounts of nitrogen trapped in carbon molecules, Cora was formed 1-3 billion years ago and was discovered in South Africa in 2010. It sold in 2011 at auction in Geneva for nearly €7 million to an anonymous buyer. A new fragrance from British luxury perfume house Thameen, inspired by this rare gemstone, ‘The Cora’ is a luminous, golden, multi-faceted spectrum of rare and beautiful ingredients that make it as mesmerising and timeless as its namesake.

THE SCENT: A radiance opens this modern classic with an iridescent burst of white jasmine and magnolia that shimmer against bright yellow Bulgarian roses and honeyed wisteria. Delicately spicy nutmeg catches the light and weaves effortlessly into the floral radiance of carnation and lily of the valley. Benzoin sharpens the senses before translucent vanilla slips into the icy base of golden amber, patchouli and luminous white musk. The Cora is a fragrance infused with luminous phosphorescence and softer, brighter accents. Its beauty is both ethereal and magnificent.
