Ibrahim was no ordinary perfumer; he was a dreamer, a historian of fragrances and a guardian of cultural heritage. His fascination with the stories of kings and conquerors led him to an extraordinary discovery in the writings of Oriental history: the legend of Odaenathus, the King of Kings of the East. Inspired by Odaenathus' remarkable journey, Ibrahim set out to capture the spirit of the king in the form of a perfume. It was to be an odyssey of the senses, a tribute to the golden sands of Palmyra and the indomitable spirit of its people.
The fragrance journey begins with a symphony of dancing citrus fruits, a lively tribute to the sun-kissed lands of Palmyra. Bergamot, cantaloupe, mandarin and tangelo dance in harmony, painting a picture of liquid sunshine on golden sand. The top notes celebrate energy and vitality, setting the stage for the aromatic journey that lies ahead.
As the journey continues, the heart of the perfume reveals deeper layers, a testament to the emperor's deep connection to the sea and the land. Seaweed, green nard and lychee blossoms emerge, each note a brushstroke that paints the portrait of a ruler whose reach extended across vast oceans and fertile plains.
As the journey of Dux Orientis reaches its crescendo, the base notes emerge and enchant the observer. Ambroxan, musk and natural oud form the soul of the perfume, each note telling its own story. Musk, with its ancient appeal, whispers of calm and renewal, while oud, with its mystical essence, transports the mind to a state of serenity and inner strength, like a whisper from centuries past, heralding traditional power and spirituality.
Dux Orientis is more than just a fragrance; it is a journey through time and space to a realm where empires rise and fall and legends are born. A perfume for dreamers, adventurers and people who strive for greatness. A fragrance that invites you to follow in the footsteps of kings and queens and experience the splendour of a bygone era.
In every spritz of Dux Orientis, the legacy of Odaenathus lives on, a reminder that greatness is not just a goal, but a state of mind, an eternal flame that burns brightly in the hearts of those who dare to dream.
