Epic Sagas
Description
Description
Some stories sweep you up before you know what you’ve stepped into. There’s no warning. Just the sense that something vast has begun, and you’re already in too deep to turn back.
Epic Sagas captures that feeling. The forward pull of fate. The slow rise of a journey that changes everything.
It opens with mandarin, bright and sharp, like the first spark on the horizon. Saffron follows, dry and layered, carrying tension that lingers in the air. Then comes leather. Deep, worn, and grounded. Like something weathered by time, kept close through every trial.
This is the scent of scorched landscapes and shifting allegiances. Of maps redrawn, alliances tested, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going. There is fire here, and memory, and something tender buried beneath it all.
Best for stories where kingdoms fall and new ones rise. Where destinies unfold across battlefields, starlit ruins, or city streets. And where love, when it appears, feels like part of the myth.
Fragrances
Fragrances
Mandarin: Sharp and bright, it cuts through the blend with clarity and urgency. Like the first spark of a journey, it brings a sense of momentum and the thrill of stepping into the unknown.
Saffron: Dry, warm, and complex, it lingers in the background with quiet tension. A scent that evokes long roads, high stakes, and the weight of choices that cannot be unmade.
Leather: Deep and worn, it adds strength and gravity. Like a weathered satchel or the memory of past battles, it grounds the scent in grit, legacy, and the cost of endurance.
