Gentle King
- Gentle King
- Parfum 50ML
- $130 USD
During a private journey across the Serengeti, the perfumer witnessed, for the first time, a lion awakening from a nap. Its languid yawn, revealing bloody jaws, struck him deeply. An instinctive vibration surged within him, one that could only be expressed through perfume—an unspeakable feeling captured in scent.
In contrast to the proud, independent lion, humanity often resembles blindly conforming gnus, mistakenly viewing itself as kings while ignoring its impact on the world. A tribute to the prairie lions, this fragrance is a genuine homage to the Gentle King.

Sichuan Pepper, originating from China’s southwestern provinces, this top spice in Chinese cuisine offers a refreshing citrus fragrance, distinct from black and pink pepper. It evokes the exhilarating tingling numbness that mimics the sensation of warmth from bright sunshine. Its enveloping animalic base softens woody and leather notes. The supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method preserves its natural freshness and spiciness to the fullest.
Grasse Orris and Violet Leaf, Orris Root, a precious perfume ingredient, releases a delicate violet-like fragrance after five years of drying and curing. The perfumer blends it with the soft, green notes of Violet Leaf, creating an ambiance that is both fierce and gentle. This harmonious duet merges seamlessly with a leather base, balancing softness with untamed wildness.
