Al Rihla Extrait
Al Rihla means the journey in Arabic, and this is the pharmacy's most opulent fragrance. Tuberose, ylang ylang, rose, labdanum, osmanthus and mango in the heart, and a base of sandalwood, patchouli, vanilla tonka, honey, dates, saffron, vetiver and Cambodian oud. It is an extrait, the highest concentration, so one spray lasts the whole day and into the night. One to keep for a special evening.
From Firenze, since 1561
This fragrance is made in Firenze by Farmacia SS. Annunziata, a pharmacy that has been in the same city since 1561 and still composes its own perfumes there, each one signed by a perfumer. I chose to bring their collection to the Beauty Bar because they work the way I like to work. Few ingredients, chosen for a reason. Less, but quality.

How I wear it
Spray it on dry skin after the shower, two or three sprays on the wrists and the neck. Body heat opens it up over the day. It also layers well over your body cream, which makes it last longer.
