The name
: hasât is the name of a pure, sparkling white
stone used from the 12th century onwards by Persian ceramists
to blend into a glassy paste called glazing to decorate clay
items with.
The picture
: a detail from a mosaic panel, Ispahan, Persia, early
16th century.
The perfume
: the delicate green freshness of a rosebud ; giving
way to a voluptuously feminine floral harmony of Turkish rose,
jasmine, lily of the valley and violet ; enhanced by a spicy
touch of carnation ; on a woodsy, mossy basis enriched with
musk and its warmly, sensually and mysteriously Oriental softness.
