McQueen Collection Dark Papyrus by Alexander McQueen 2.5 oz./ 75 ml. Eau de Parfum Spray for Women. Brand New. Comes in original retail Sealed Box.   

Dark Papyrus, a fragrance for women created by Alexander McQueen, is a unique blend of floral, woody and musk scents. Launched in 2018, it is the creation of renowned perfumer Christophe Raynaud. The inspiration for this scent comes from the papyrus plant, which is known for its ability to thrive in the rich, muddy soil of the Nile river banks. To the ancient Egyptians, the papyrus amulet was believed to offer protection and strength. The extract from this plant has a strong, earthy aroma that evokes the essence of life in its most primal form.

When combined with the juicy, blackcurrant buds, the untamed energy of the papyrus extract creates an evocative and vital scent, reminiscent of armor. This spicy, woody floral fragrance encapsulates the earliest beliefs of humanity and evokes an intense desire for new life.

As part of its August 2018 launch, Alexander McQueen Parfums released a collection of eight fragrances, each one distinguished by its use of rare and high-quality ingredients that capture the essential and mysterious beauty of nature. The collection is a testament to the brand's commitment to artistry, innovation and contemporary design in perfumery.
