In ancient Egypt, after the defeat of Mark Antony at Actium, Cleopatra, the last queen of a solar empire, finds herself captive in her palace in Alexandria. Rather than be taken to Rome as a trophy, she chooses to end her life by biting an asp. In this gesture that is both tragic and sublime, she masters her destiny until her last breath. The Queen and the Viper tells the story of this disastrous episode, where audacity and mystery mingle in a suspended moment.
The opening is illuminated with crystalline bergamot and spearmint, reminiscent of the freshness of the gardens and banks of the Nile. The blackcurrant bud brings a fruity glow, vibrant like the jewels of the royal court. The base is enriched with incense and saffron, echoes of the spices and sacred rituals of the time, and unfolds in the sensual depth of blond tobacco and vetiver, enveloping the story in a veil of mystery and seduction.
