NOSTOS

The perfume is the vehicle of this return we vainly aspire to. Like an intense and penetrating incense that could burn for three thousand years, the fragrance celebrates the Homeric epic of the most beautiful of heroes, whose wrath and its unpredictable consequences immortalized the Trojan War.

The symbol of the desired and unrealized Nostos is Achilles. It is not the Nostos of Ulysses and his Odyssey, but of Achilles, the emblem of this fragrance, conceived by the gods and born of love, like the Trojan War.

Achilles is a complex hero with a dual essence, the divine one of his mother, the goddess Thetis, and the human one of his father Peleus. He carries within him the beauty of duality. He is a powerful warrior, with penetrating musk notes and the extreme virility of oud, without which Troy could not be defeated, but he also shows the delicate femininity of the rose.

Achilles is the violence and beauty of the extraordinary diversity of human beings.

Spear or shield: this perfume encapsulates a dual nature in which the Greek hero conquers us amidst effluvia of jasmine and sandalwood. Art of war or love: the fragrance reaches perfection to attack time, fight against our limited destinies, and finally triumph over the ruthless Greek gods through amber, saffron, and incense.

Achilles will never return home, he knows it and fights against his destiny, always driven by the desire to return, haunted by this derisive weapon vainly opposed to fate, by the nostalgia in which we see his humanity triumph.

The perfume of the most beautiful of Greek heroes, fragile and dangerous, forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, to promise victory.
