Uruk Chronicles starts from ancient Uruk, the city where the Epic of Gilgamesh was born, regarded as the oldest legendary tale to have come down to us. In it the king seeks never to die and goes down beneath the sea to pick a flower that grants eternity, whose pistil, according to the house, is that of saffron; a serpent snatches it from him, but the memory of Gilgamesh has outlived the centuries.
Mandarin and juicy strawberry open the composition. At the heart, saffron brings its spicy side, accompanied by a powdery iris, before a warm, woody base of tonka bean, cedar and cypriol. A fruity amber signed by Jordi Fernández.

Uruk Chronicles in detail
Etat Libre d'Orange likes to tell unexpected stories. Uruk Chronicles, signed by Jordi Fernandez, turns into fragrance the legend of Gilgamesh, king of the Mesopotamian city of Uruk: a fruity, spicy amber built around a juicy strawberry, saffron and tonka bean.
The official pyramid opens on mandarin and strawberry, a juicy, gourmand start. The heart pairs saffron and orris, a spicy warmth and a powdery texture. The base brings together tonka bean, cedarwood and cypriol, a woody, warm, slightly smoky foundation.
Uruk Chronicles is worn in autumn and winter, by day or by night: at the office on a cold day, at a dinner, or in the evening. Its fruit makes it brighter than most ambers.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue share its saffron: Red Tobacco by Mancera, around tobacco; Althaïr Exclusif by Parfums de Marly, in a vanilla amber; Amber Aoud by Roja Parfums, which also shares orris, in a very rich composition.
