In-Depth Summary
Jean Carles created Sirocco in 1934, naming the fragrance for the hot Saharan wind that crosses the Mediterranean. A bright lemon-verbena tang and green citrus open into aromatic florals, resins, moss, woods, and warm animalic depth, giving the perfume its dry, windswept character.
