In Greek mythology, Nostos means return, an impossible longing, a desire that resonates in the soul and imagination. It is the essence of nostalgia, that piercing pain born of memory and the unattainable.

In NOSTOS, perfume is the key to a dreamed-of but unattainable return, a sensorial journey that transports us to mythical times. Like a burning incense that has perfumed history for millennia, this fragrance evokes the epic of the most beautiful and feared hero: Achilles, whose wrath unleashed the Trojan War and marked his legendary destiny.

Achilles: The essence of the hero immortalized in a perfume

In this universe, the nostos belongs not to Ulysses and his Odyssey, but to Achilles, the divine warrior, the symbol of a fragrance created to defy time. Born of the gods and forged in war, Achilles embodies a unique duality:

Strength and passion, reflected in powerful musks and the intensity of oud.

Sensitivity and beauty, wrapped in the delicacy of rose and jasmine.

This fragrance is a tribute to the duality of humanity, where the ferocity of the warrior is intertwined with the purity of his emotions.

A fragrance with epic power

Like spear and shield, this perfume reveals two facets: the audacity of sandalwood and oud, combined with the seduction of jasmine and saffron. It is an art of war and love, a scent that defies time and challenges destiny with the majesty of amber and incense.

Achilles will never return home. Aware of his destiny, he fights against fate, carrying with him the scent of a beautiful, indomitable, and eternal hero. A fragrance forged by Hephaestus, the god of fire, to achieve victory.
