Zaharoff Basileus Precious Treasure 120ml/4.0 oz

Precious Treasure 120ml 

Zaharoff Basileus is Zaharoff's "Private Collection" or fragrances that are very special and unique but not a part of the "Signature Collection.”

"Basileus" is Greek for "king" and thus, this is a "King's Collection."

From George Zaharoff:

"Inspired by a conversation with Master Perfumer Claude Dir of MANE, I learned of an ancient oil harvested by the Himba People of Africa through sustainable, traditional methods. This discovery lead him to create not just a fragrance, but a complete sensory experience, housed in an obsidian black bottle adorned with Byzantine script and enclosed in a beautiful hand-made black box.

This story culminated in a profound journey to Namibia's Skeleton Coast with Scents of Namibia, where I met with Himba women to present the finished creation. This encounter transformed me into something far more meaningful than a mere business transaction - it becomes a celebration of human connection and cultural preservation.  

Precious Treasure combines precious ingredients from around the world, including Guatemalan cardamom, Namibian Bushman Candle, and Australian sandalwood, creating a testament to both ancient wisdom and modern perfumery. Through this journey, I discovered that the true "precious treasure" lies not in the fragrance itself, but in the authentic human connections and preserved traditions it represents."
