Hellenist | La Nuit des 300 | Eau de Parfum
Created by the legendary master perfumer Maurice Roucel, La Nuit des 300 (The Night of the 300) is a visceral, emotionally charged masterpiece inspired by the Sacred Band of Thebes, an elite battalion of 150 pairs of lovers whose strength lay in their invincible bond. This fragrance captures their final night: a profound intersection of heroism and desire. It opens with the "soapy" cleanliness of ritual herbs like Artemisia and Lavender, evoking the calm before the storm. As night falls, it transforms into a "carnal" embrace of deep musks and creamy woods. It is a hymn to love, courage, and the timeless warmth of skin against skin.
