Ephemeral Dyadic Ozymandias EDP

Description

Ephemeral Dyadic Ozymandias is an Eau de Parfum inspired by Shelley's sonnet on the ruins of power. A sharp opening of elemi and black pepper evokes the cold sneer of a forgotten king, then labdanum and cashmere wood settle like desert winds over ancient stone, and the fragrance surrenders to warm amber and vanilla. Not a triumph, but a quiet, inevitable decay. It was launched in 2023 by the Istanbul art-and-perfume project Ephemeral Dyadic.

Scent Character

• Amber (dominant)
