THE CORA - THAMEEN

THE CORA - THAMEEN

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

THE FRAGRANCE: A radiance opens this modern classic with an iridescent shimmer of white jasmine and magnolia that glints over vivid yellow Bulgarian roses and honeyed wisteria. Delicately spicy nutmeg draws in the light and slips effortlessly into the floral sheen of carnation and lily-of-the-valley. Benzoin sharpens the senses before a translucent vanilla glides into the iced base of golden amber, patchouli and a luminous white musk. The Cora is a fragrance suffused with luminous phosphorescence and softer, brighter accents. Its beauty is at once ethereal and magnificent.
