Mélodie de l'Altaï takes you to the high, untamed plateaus of Kazakhstan, where the country meets China and Mongolia. Saffron, whisky and incense open the composition with a spicy, smoky warmth, like cold air crossed by campfire smoke.
Leather then takes over, softened by jasmine sambac and held by cedar and styrax, before patchouli, vetiver, benzoin and tonka extend the trail. A powerful, free-spirited leather for winter evenings.

Mélodie de l'Altaï in detail
Ella K Parfums, founded by perfumer Sonia Constant, tells of journeys to the ends of the earth. Mélodie de l'Altaï, which she signs, evokes a horseback ride across the high plateaus of Kazakhstan: a warm, smoky leather, between saffron, whisky and incense.
The house lists its notes without sorting them into stages. Saffron and whisky bring a spicy, liqueur-like warmth. Incense and leather form the smoky heart of the composition, softened by jasmine sambac. Cedarwood, styrax, patchouli, vetiver, benzoin and tonka bean make up a woody, resinous base.
Mélodie de l'Altaï is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: an evening by the fire, a dinner, a night out in bitter cold.
Three leather fragrances in our catalogue share many of its materials: Opera Grande by Sospiro brings together leather, cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver; Smoke Show by Vilhelm Parfumerie pairs saffron, leather, vetiver and cedarwood around a rose; Smokin' Gun by Born To Stand Out finds incense, leather, whisky and cedarwood again.
