Pana Dora Dux Orientis

Ibrahim was no ordinary perfumer, he was a dreamer, a storyteller of scents and a guardian 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 meant 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 citrusy fruits that bubble forth, a vibrant tribute to the sun-kissed lands of Palmyra. Bergamot, melon, mandarin and tangelo dance together harmoniously, 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 flowers emerge, each note a brushstroke that paints the portrait of a ruler whose empire stretched across vast oceans and fertile plains.

As Dux Orientis’ journey 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 its own story. Musk, with its ancient appeal, whispers of relaxation and rejuvenation, while Oud, with its mystical essence, calls the mind to a state of serenity and inner strength, like a whisper from centuries past that speaks of power and spirituality in tradition.

Dux Orientis is more than just a fragrance; it is a journey through time and space into a realm where empires rise and fall and where legends are born. It is a perfume for dreamers, adventurers and seekers of greatness, a scent that invites you to follow in the footsteps of kings and queens to embrace the splendor 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 in the hearts of those who dare to dream.
