The Queen and the Viper

Eau de Parfum

In ancient Egypt, after Mark Antony lost the battle of Actium, Cleopatra – the last queen of her kingdom – is kept inside her palace in Alexandria. Not wanting to be taken to Rome as a prize, she chooses to end her life using a snake’s bite. In this tragic but powerful act, she stays in control of her fate until the end. The Queen and the Viper tells the story of this dark moment, where courage and mystery come together for a brief time.

The scent opens with bright bergamot and cool spearmint, reminding us of the fresh air of the gardens by the Nile. Blackcurrant bud adds a fruity touch, shining like the jewels of the royal court. The base of the fragrance carries incense and saffron, echoing the spices and sacred rituals of the era, and finally melts into warm blond tobacco and vetiver, wrapping the story in a soft, mysterious, and seductive veil.
