Thebes, Egypt, almost 4,000 years ago. The setting is grandiose, with its pyramids, the desert, and also the tastefully landscaped green oases. In the palace, a queen-turned-pharaoh sits on her throne, looking down at us from her height. Hatchepsout rises and walks past us, leaving a sweet scent in her wake that makes us want to follow in her footsteps. It's powerful and gentle at the same time. That's when you open your eyes and realize that the perfume has taken you on a journey through time and space. Safe landing!
