The Story

By the tonka, I remain.

Uruk Chronicles pays tribute to the legendary city of Uruk, the birthplace of the Epic of Gilgamesh, humanity’s oldest known legend.

In his quest for immortality, the king journeys to the depths of the ocean in search of the flower of eternity, whose pistil reveals the precious essence of saffron. Yet before he can claim it, a serpent steals it away. While immortality remains beyond his reach, Gilgamesh achieves something far greater: eternal remembrance. His name travels across millennia, inspiring this contemporary olfactive creation.

Perfumer, Jordi Fernández, reimagines this timeless quest through a gourmand oriental fragrance with a resolutely modern character. The luminous vibrancy of fruity notes meets a warm, woody foundation, creating a composition that is both captivating and irresistibly addictive.

From the very first notes, radiant mandarin blends with juicy strawberry, revealing the fragrance’s unique signature. At the heart, saffron, inspired by the flower of immortality, unveils its precious spicy facets alongside a delicate, powdery iris. In the base, tonka intertwines with cedarwood and cypriol, leaving behind a warm, enveloping woody trail.

Uruk Chronicles is an invitation to leave a mark, a fragrance that transforms every trail into a legend.

The House

Etienne de Swardt founded Etat Libre d'Orange in 2006 and named the house for the Orange Free State of his South African birthplace, the autonomous republic that, briefly, lived by its own rules. The house carries that spirit of independence into fragrance: liberated, flamboyant, and unafraid to provoke. Where most perfumery aims to please, Etat Libre d'Orange aims to challenge, sometimes with subjects polite houses would avoid entirely.
