SundusAmber Floral Extrait de Parfum

Sundus by Karakash is a floral, amber and citrus perfume extract, unisex, created by Mohammad Tammam Mando. Twenty-two ingredients: the house's most elaborate formula.

Twelve fragrances, seven perfumers, one single year

Karakash Perfume is a Turkish haute perfumery house, and its history has this particularity: all twelve of its fragrances were launched in the same year, 2023 — a complete collection from the outset. Even rarer: these twelve creations are signed by seven different noses — Mohammad Tammam Mando, Jean-Michel Santorini, Amandine Galliano, Marc Zini, Marie Huguenot, Laure-Leta Jacquet and Émilie Bouge. The bottles are sculptural, and the house's narrative revolves around self-preparation and confidence.

An opening of four citrus fruits, thyme and galbanum

Grapefruit, lemon, bergamot and lime open with four distinct citrus fruits. Thyme brings Mediterranean herbs, mugwort its bitterness and galbanum its green, almost pungent resin. Seven ingredients from the very first minute.

A heart of jasmine, lily and juniper berries

Jasmine and lily establish two opulent white flowers, blackcurrant and apple the fruit. The juniper berries bring their resinous bitterness, pink pepper liveliness and cypriol an initial smoke.

A base of ambergris, leather and labdanum

Ambergris brings its salty and animal facet, leather the dark material. Benzoin, labdanum and vanilla form the balsamic, while rose, cedar and vetiver complete a base of eight ingredients.

The house's approach

Twenty-two ingredients, distributed almost equally across the three layers. Seven in the head, seven in the heart, eight in the base: the composition never lightens, it transforms at a constant density. It is the exact opposite of Blazing Diamond, its catalog neighbor, which consists of six ingredients — two radically different compositions released in the same year, by the same house. This is what a catalog entrusted to seven noses allows.

For whom, for what occasions?

Floral, amber and citrus, this extract is for those who love dense compositions and animalic ambers, and want a fragrance that can be appreciated over several hours. All year round, preferably in the evening. It is the fullest of the twelve.

With Sundus Karakash, the composition transforms without ever lightening.
