Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (of Taj Mahal fame..) gave orders for the construction of an opulent throne on a golden dais for the legendary Red Fort in Delhi. It took seven years to complete and was exuberantly decorated in rubies, emeralds, gold and peacock motifs. Sadly this luminous throne was looted as war booty in 1739 by the Persians and disappeared into history. The Egyptian jasmine and orris in Peacock Throne have a captivating pearlescent texture straight out of the Thameen midnight blue bottle, the extrait strength formula literally glistening on skin. Pink pepper adds a snappy aromatic crunch and a dash of rather sweet lemon stops the jasmine tumbling into indolic indulgence. The brioche and jam sensation of the trademark Taif rose has a touch of nutmeg over the top, imparting a deeply comforting aroma over a rubicund patchouli and moreish vanilla base. Everything glows like a private sunset.

Here's what other people are saying about Peacock Throne...

A very pretty rose soft without being powdery. The lemon and ylang ylang on the top add a bit of brightness, and I catch the pink pepper subtly during dry down. I would say this lasts about 4-5 hours on me. I don't know if it's unique enough for me to justify a full bottle, but it's definitely lovely and worth a try.

Just opening the sample bottle and taking the first sniff, I just went "Ooooohhh!" This really does open like a peacocks tail, showing different notes at random times. Very tropical...... the best frag to wear when you don't know what to wear. Superb!

When I first smelled this, I literally threw my head back and laughed! It was pure unadulterated joy, in finding a scent that is so gorgeous! This comes along so rarely, to find a scent that moves you so intensely. It Literally sparkles and gleams, with a thousand points of light, just like the gems this perfume is inspired by. Fans of Indolic, heady florals must smell this rare beauty.

Long lasting and AMAZING! Very unique scent

By Amy - Supervisor from Scottsdale on 8/10/2017

All the Thameen scents I’ve tried so far have a profound creaminess, but this one...well, you too will believe that sandalwood might be edible. The (olfactory, visual) glow is real, though even with that titanic, gorgeous rose at the heart this still reads to me as an edifice carved from solid pearl. (I credit orris, here triumphing over everything that ever annoyed you about jasmine...but leaving just enough of that indolic note to remind you that it’s there.) It’s all very regal and lovely in the manner of the great midcentury women’s scents...and then the grain-and-butter cozy notes of nutmeg and brioche kick in, and it’s simply, perfectly dizzying. Beautiful work.
