Fragrance Description: Seductive and aromatic with soft spices, Kasbah embraces the colorful and creative party scene of Marrakesh during the 1960s and 1970s.
About the Bottle:
The name Kasbah and its orange color refer to a fortress in North Africa. The song "Rock the Kasbah" by the Clash was inspired by the banning of rock music in Iran during the 1980s. The different colors on the 19-69 bottles symbolize a rainbow, which in 1969 stood for peace and freedom.
About the Fragrance:
"Stories of how Talitha and Paul Getty, Paul Bowles, Mick Jagger, Veruschka, and Yves Saint Laurent all resided in Marrakesh during the 1960s and 1970s have always inspired me. I’m intrigued by how they were enticed by the kingdom’s energy and dynamic and used it for influences and escapes: clothes, colors, music, interior, and drugs. The fragrance of Kasbah is a capture of this era."
