ATHENA FRAGRANCES

EGYPT - CAIRO - NASER CITY

Echoing life’s most vivid and celebrated experiences shaped by moments of distress and strength, GLORY OF JEDDAH is an aromatic depiction of the narrative of history and civilization

We crafted this tribute to the house’s signature storytelling tradition, Athena Fragrances brings GLORY OF JEDDAH to life in an Extrait de Parfum. An amber woody center that showcases the most expensive types of oud in all that glory Inspired by the themes expressed, in particular the concepts of confusion, passion and destruction, the fragrance is a manifestation of the tension between idealism and realism, the contradiction between thinking and feeling, the power of desire and mimicry. Opening with a distillation of molecular patchouli, Cypriol oil, and Virginia cedar oil, the confusion lies in the lack of an expected top note. Instead, a variety of woods came to the fore, announcing a deep sophistication. In the heart of the fragrance, high-quality natural Assam Oud used by Athena Fragrances dances in harmony with deep Vanilla (Madagascar) absolute as a beautiful duo of contrasts. Meanwhile, birch, guaiac wood, and castoreum leave dark imprints on the skin, and smoky woods blend together in an endless finale.
