The desert has inspired mankind since time began. A land of fire and a sea of sand, it is full of life and mystery. It promises to reveal its profound nature to anyone who dares to contemplate the infinite. To set foot in it is to set your soul in it. Twenty years ago, in the heart of the kingdoms of the East, Pierre Montale embarked on an unforeseen journey in search of the thousand-year-old secrets that tradition jealously protects. Unwittingly, he was moving towards his truth, his destiny. Embracing the silence and the immense landscapes, between encounters and amazement, from the domes of the citadels to the ancient traditions of the Arab world, discover how the nose of this artist came to select rose, incense, amber, cedar, precious woods and a thousand other wonderful scents to turn his perfumes into ointments brimming with happiness or potions redolent of love. Through this first film from Maison Montale, experience the original thrill of this tireless traveller, whose brilliance silently shines through, as it does in each of his fragrances.
