Shores Of Asyut

Olfactory Journey Along the Nile: Shores Of Asyut Estoras

The brand describes it as a "scent-based postcard from a journey along the Nile," evoking images of camels, dusty roads, waving villagers, wheat fields, and the tranquility of twilight by the riverbank. In the Estoras narrative, Asyut is situated along this great river route, and the fragrance is intended to capture the transition from the heat and bustle of midday travel to the serene calm of nightfall by the water. This vision aligns with the overarching mythology of the ESTORAS brand, where each fragrance is part of The Adventures of Antal, inspired by the travels and legacy of Prince Antal Esterházy. In this lore, the journey across Africa (and along the Nile) represents both physical exploration and a metaphorical exploration of time, heritage, and the unknown.

Olfactory Notes

From the first moments, I detect a crisp brightness: gin’s aromatic agave-tinge and flickering pink and black pepper – sharp, effervescent, like a warm breeze over a dusty caravan route. As that initial sparkle softens, a floral heart emerges: iris (orris) whispers its powdery elegance, tuberose lends creamy sensuality, and violet leaf brings a green, leafy edge. Finally, in the base, the composition settles into gentle warmth: ambergris and woods anchor the scent, moss and oak lend depth and earthiness, and a dry sugarcane-sweet undercurrent roots the fragrance in a hushed, golden dusk.
