Cri du Kalahari pays tribute to the baobab, a symbolic tree whose wood carries the whole history of Africa. Green pepper and orris open the composition like stardust above the desert.
Then the woods take over: a baobab accord, cedar, sandalwood and a touch of patchouli, played in overdose for an almost tangible texture. A dry, powerful woody, to wear all year round.

Cri du Kalahari in detail
Ella K Parfums, founded by perfumer Sonia Constant, tells of faraway journeys like the pages of a travel journal. Cri du Kalahari, which she signs, evokes the thousand-year-old baobab of the Kalahari desert: an overdosed woody fragrance, dry and slightly powdery.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Green pepper brings a sharp, green freshness. Orris gives a powdery texture. Baobab, an evocative note of the emblematic tree, joins cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli, which form a dense woody whole, at once dry and creamy.
Cri du Kalahari can be worn from autumn to spring, by day or by night: at the office, at a dinner, or every day for those who love woods.
Three woody fragrances in our catalogue share its materials: Santal 33 by Le Labo brings together orris, sandalwood and cedarwood, with leather; Danaë by Argos pairs cedarwood, patchouli and sandalwood with citrus; Decision 42 by Amouage finds sandalwood, patchouli and cedarwood again in a smoky woody fragrance.
