Akkad by the perfume house Lubin is a warm, spicy fragrance with oriental notes that recall a hot sun over dry plains.
For Akkad, Delphine Thierry drew inspiration from the ancient state of Mesopotamia, where Sargon of Akkad founded the city. Legend has it that, as a baby, Sargon was found in a basket on the river by Akki, a gardener, before he became the renowned king. This beautiful fragrance reflects the legend through sage at the top, incense and styrax wax at the heart and, of course, amber at the base. The result is a full scent that lingers throughout the day.
Topnoten: Mandarijn, bergamot. salie.
Hartnoten: Kardemom, wierook, styrax.
Basisnoten: Amber, labdanum, vanille, patchouli.

At just ten years old, Pierre François Lubin was apprenticed to the celebrated master perfumer Jean-Louis Fargeon. The young apprentice was once sent to deliver rose perfumes to Queen Marie-Antoinette while she was under house arrest at the start of the French Revolution.
In Grasse, Lubin became acquainted with the Italian methods. His creations were much admired by the first dandies, better known as Les Incroyables. Lubin became an official supplier to George IV, King of England, and to Tsar Alexander I of Russia.
Even today, many of these refined, timeless perfumes are based on age-old recipes and remain much loved by true connoisseurs.
