Achilles is a complex hero with a double essence: divine through his mother, the goddess Thetis, human through his father, Peleus. He carries within him the beauty of duality, sometimes a fearsome warrior with powerful and penetrating musks – the extreme virility of the oud without which Troy cannot be defeated – and sometimes the femininity of the rose. Achilles is the violence and beauty found in the extraordinary diversity of humanity.

Spear or shield, this perfume too has a double nature, where the Greek hero is adorned with the attractions of jasmine and sandalwood. Art of war or love, the perfume approaches perfection in order to attack time, fight against our limited destinies and finally triumph over the merciless Greek gods with amber, saffron and incense.

Achilles will never return to his homeland. He knows this, and fights against this destiny, always torn by the desire of return, haunted by this pitiful weapon against fatality, by this nostalgia in which we see his humanity triumph. The scent of the most beautiful Greek hero, fragile and dangerous, forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, to ensure victory.
