The fragrance: Le chant d’Achille – Eau de Parfum

« Jean-David gave me the novel by Madeline Miller from which this perfume takes its name. I wanted to capture its sensuality, those emotions that surface page after page. I imagined an orange blossom that shifts like a chameleon, resting on a bed of musks, by turns virginal and warrior-like. I paired it with immortelle, warm and salty, a nod to the Mediterranean and to Achilles' heel. The geranium traces a deceptive fern frond, mirroring the ambiguous feelings that bind the two heroes. »

Le chant d’Achille by Hellenist, eau de parfum

The story of Le chant d’Achille

Le chant d'Achille draws on the light of the Mediterranean and the legend of Homer's hero. Its top notes of neroli, lemon and black pepper open with a sparkling freshness, like a sea breeze over the cliffs of Skyros.

The heart unfolds a floral, sun-drenched harmony of orange blossom, geranium and ylang-ylang, while the base of immortelle, vetiver and white musk lends a saline, refined depth.

Signed Alexandra Carlin, this Eau de Parfum embodies the duality of Achilles, a formidable hero with a sensitive soul, for a trail that is both luminous and intimate.
