About Azalai 30ml

The sixth fragrance from Stockholm-based perfumery Stora Skuggan, Azalai, is a spicy amber – a sultry reinterpretation of luxury.
The Azalai is a caravan route through the Ténéré region of the Saharan desert, where camel trains have transported salt and gold for a thousand years. Along the route stood one single acacia tree, the only living thing in an ocean of sand. This was the most isolated tree in the world, 150 km from any other.
This acacia, known simply as The Tree of Ténéré, was the last surviving plant from a time when the desert was less parched than it is today, thanks to roots reaching deep down into a water pocket, an underground pool hidden more than 30 meters below the desert. It’s easy to see how the Tuareg caravan riders, themselves desert survival specialists, held the tree and its amazing fortitude in the highest regard. It was considered blasphemy to break its branches for firewood or let the camels eat from the leaves.
This loneliest tree in the world was one of the very few landmarks along the Azalai, a sacred testament to the resilience of life that had guided caravans for centuries. Despite this, and the fact that it was the only obstacle for miles around, a truck driver that had drunkenly fallen asleep behind the wheel crashed into it in 1973 and killed it.
