Ibrahim was no ordinary perfumer, he was a dreamer, a storyteller of scents and a keeper of cultural heritage. His fascination with the stories of kings and conquerors led him to an extraordinary discovery in the pages of Eastern history, the legend of Odaenathus, King of Kings of the East.
Inspired by Odaenathus' remarkable journey, Ibrahim set out on a quest to capture the king's spirit in the form of a perfume. It was to be a sensual odyssey, a tribute to the golden sands of Palmyra and the indomitable spirit of its people.
The olfactory journey begins with a symphony of citrus fruits bursting forth, a vibrant tribute to the sun-kissed lands of Palmyra. Bergamot, melon, mandarin and tangelo dance together in harmony, painting a picture of liquid sunlight on golden sand. The top notes are a celebration of energy and vitality, an overture to the aromatic journey yet to come.
As the journey unfolds, the heart of the perfume reveals deeper layers, a tribute to the king's deep connection to both sea and land. Seaweed, green spikenard and lychee blossom emerge, each note a brushstroke painting the portrait of a ruler whose empire spanned vast oceans and fertile plains.
As the journey of Dux Orientis reaches its climax, the base notes emerge to cast a spell of enchantment. Ambroxan, musk and natural oud form the soul of the perfume, each note weaving a story of its own. Musk, with its ancient appeal, whispers of relaxation and rejuvenation, while oud, with its mystical essence, calls the spirit to a state of serenity and inner strength, like a whisper from centuries past, telling of power and spirituality in tradition.
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. It is a perfume for dreamers, adventurers and seekers of greatness, a fragrance that invites you to follow in the footsteps of kings and queens to embrace the splendor of a bygone era.
In every splash 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 burning in the hearts of those who dare to dream.
