Here, perfume is the vehicle of the return to which one aspires in vain. Like an intense and deep incense that would have burned for three thousand years, the perfume celebrates the Homeric epic of that most beautiful of heroes, whose anger and its unpredictable consequences made the Trojan War.
Nostos. By the incense I remain.
SAFFRON
AMBER
INCENSE
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.
NOSTOS
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.

LIBERATED
A perfume house that promotes freedom of expression– with its singularity, its sincerity, unexpected, sometimes ironic, often subversive, and always elegant.
AUDACIOUS
To extend the confines of perfume, to overcome the forbidden, to break the rules. To rebel. Juices that are designed to disturb, to touch, to tempt, to seduce.
AUTHENTIC
We love the attitude of being on the borders. On one side we have seriousness and on the other side we have radical nonsense.
