The Queen: Jasmine in a Room Full of Amber
Candlelight, a room turned gold and a flower that saves its scent for after dark. The story of The Queen - jasmine, amber wood and musk.
The candles have been lit for an hour and the room has turned gold. She is at the far end of it, talking, laughing, not trying to be the centre of anything.
And yet every time she moves, there it is again: a white flower, sweet and heady, riding on something warmer - polished wood, amber, a soft trace of skin. It lingers where she has been standing. People find themselves drifting towards that end of the room without quite knowing why.

What is inside
The Queen is jasmine set in amber. Its heart is jasmine, a flower perfumers have prized for centuries and one that gives its scent most freely after dusk. Around it sit amber wood and musk - the same foundation that runs through The King, here warmed and softened into something radiant rather than dark.
- Jasmine - rich, sweet, unmistakably floral
- Amber wood - warm, golden, gently resinous
- Musk - soft and skin-close, the part that lingers
As an extrait de parfum, highly concentrated and oil-based, The Queen stays with you through the evening, softening as it goes rather than fading away.
The bottle
Deep red faceted glass, a gold label and a gold crown set with black enamel - a close cousin of The King's crown, recast in gold.
How to wear it
One spray at the base of the throat and one on each wrist. The Queen belongs to evenings, celebrations and candlelit dinners, and it comes into its own in autumn and winter. In warmer weather, a single spray is plenty.
Her King
Because The Queen and The King share amber wood and musk, they sit beautifully side by side - on a couple, or on one person who wants a darker day and a brighter night. The Coffret Royal brings the two together in one presentation box.
