Uruk Chronicles is a tribute to the first legend ever written: the epic journey of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk.
In his quest for immortality, the king journeys to the depths of the ocean in search of the flower of eternity, whose pistil reveals the precious essence of saffron. Yet before he can claim it, a serpent steals it away. While immortality remains beyond his reach, Gilgamesh achieves something far greater: eternal remembrance. His name travels across millennia, inspiring this contemporary olfactive creation.
Perfumer, Jordi Fernández, reimagines this timeless quest through a gourmand oriental fragrance with a resolutely modern character. The luminous vibrancy of fruity notes meets a warm, woody foundation, creating a composition that is both captivating and irresistibly addictive.
The fragrance unfurls with the luscious sweetness of strawberry, reflecting the abundance of a king who was longing for something beyond the mortal realm. The sweet fruit would in turn become his solace in his pursuit of eternity.
At the heart of it all, saffron rises like a sacred treasure: the mythical flower that could defy the fate of all mankind, hidden beyond the reach of ordinary folks.
As his journey reaches its final chapter, the warmth of tonka recalls the eternal echo of Gilgamesh's legend, the enduring legacy of his journey etched on clay and carved in time.
Uruk Chronicles captures the scented paradox of a man seeking immortality, only to find it serendipitiously through memory.
