Salvation, with the distinct smell of sweet mint. Saint Julep is an Imaginary Authors eau de parfum of sweet mint, tangerine and Southern magnolia over bourbon, grisalva and sugarcube. The house offers it as a soother for hard days, to give you the aplomb to keep going.

The Story

On the outskirts of Clarksdale, Mississippi, at the end of a secluded dirt road, sat a small ramshackle church. It was not a place of worship but rather where many went to seek refuge during impoverished times. Legend has it the structure was transported to the wild mint field by hand, hoisted on the shoulders of two dozen men. The outside remained simple and nondescript, but the interior was aglow with pilfered neon signs, Christmas lights and a jukebox donated by the sheriff's son. It was a distinctly secular place where locals who knew where to find it could share moonshine, socialize and dance their troubles away. They called their juke joint Saint Julep, and the oral histories compiled within paint a picture of that magical place where "the smiles are always free and salvation had the distinct smell of sweet mint."

How It Smells

Strength refined into scent: bright citrus, aromatic spice and warm, ambered woods. Gladiator is an Extrait de Parfum from Sora Dora, the French house founded by Antoine Sora Dora. Bright freshness, aromatic spice, rich woods and warm amber make a fragrance that is bold yet sophisticated, powerful, elegant and built for those who lead with confidence. It was created by perfumers Amélie Bourgeois, Anne-Sophie Behaghel and Camille Chemardin.

The Story

Sora Dora traces its roots to Antoine Sora Dora, who left Portugal for Provence in 1920 and worked as head gardener at a jasmine farm near Grasse, where he began experimenting with perfume. Gladiator is presented as a conquering seduction, a fragrance whose name is itself a challenge, and here appears at full Extrait de Parfum strength.

How It Smells

Opening
Bold, energetic and commanding: a sharp burst of freshness, grapefruit, pineapple, bergamot and lemon, layered over aromatic herbs and peppery accents that create presence at once.

Heart
Green apple, geranium, peppermint and white blossoms give the heart a refined contrast with the crisp opening, while deeper woods and resinous notes begin to rise, bringing structure and a sophisticated rather than aggressive character. Smooth leather-like nuances and warm amber tones add richness.

Dry Down
Ambered woods, patchouli, vetiver and Virginia cedar, with coumarin and a warm musky glow, linger on the skin, assertive, polished and charismatic.
