Uruk Chronicles

Uruk Chronicles by Etat Libre d’Orange brings one of humanity’s oldest known legends into a contemporary fragrance. Inspired by the legendary city of Uruk and the Epic of Gilgamesh, the composition explores the idea of immortality through memory and lasting legacy.

The fragrance opens with Strawberry, Ebelia and Tangerine. Juicy strawberry creates a rich fruity impression, while tangerine brings brightness and freshness. Ebelia contributes a modern fruity facet that gives the opening its distinctive character.

At the heart, Accord Saffron becomes the central element. Inspired by the mythical flower of eternity in the story of Gilgamesh, saffron introduces a precious, warm and spicy quality. Iris adds a delicate powdery refinement, while Pomarose brings a fruity and subtly floral dimension.

The base combines Tonka, Cypriol and Cedarwood. Tonka creates a warm and smooth sensation, cypriol adds a dry woody and earthy quality, and cedarwood provides structure and an elegant woody finish.

Uruk Chronicles stands out through the contrast between juicy fruit, precious spice and warm woods. The result is a modern interpretation of an ancient legend, moving from vibrant fruit to saffron and finally to a warm woody foundation.
