To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Parfumerie Générale, Pierre Guillaume, CaFleurebon's  2011 Perfumer of the Decade has created his second new fragrance this year (Corps et Ames Apaisante debuted earlier) PG22 DjHenné . The fragrance is inspired by the city of Djenne in Mali, the oldest city in sub Sarahan Africa which is steeped in history as a center of Islamic learning, an important trade route linked withTimbuktu, for its unique sun baked adobe brick architecture and for its annual flood of the Niger and Bani rivers between the months of June and October which turns the city into a lush green island.

Fragrance composition:

Topnote: Lavender, Spearmint, Lilac, Seringa Blossom

Heartnote: Cocoa, Cedarwood

Basenote: Myrrh, Wheat
