Description
Inspired by the famed Gladiators of Ancient Rome, courageous warriors who dominated and entertained in the Coliseum, Gladiator Oud opens with a thrilling clash between leathery saffron and dry cumin. Cardamom and the cool of Egyptian geranium combine to hint at steel and strength, as a vein of sweet honey brings light to the composition and tempers the drier elements. Hay and immortelle absolutes create a picture of the sun-baked soil of the gladiatorial arena, whilst a dry and piquant base of oud, patchouli, cedar and vetiver celebrate the riches of strength over adversity. Wafts of salty ambergris bring a cool breeze to the final phase of the scent, as we imagine perspiration cooling on the brow of our champion.

Julien Rasquinet
Perfumer's Word
“The gladiator we had in mind as our inspiration for this scent is a noble warrior. A victor with the courage, power, wisdom and skill necessary to win in the gladiatorial arena, but also a natural born leader with confidence, integrity and dignity.
My dream was to create an iconic perfume befitting the name: an addictive and wearable oud combining the skill and physicality of a combat with the nobility of a true leader; all within the impressive theatre of the gladiatorial arena.
To realise this we collaborated with Julien Rasquinet. Gladiator Oud is a magnetic, unisex and effortlessly confident scent."
Gladiator Oud is the third fragrance in the EMPEROR Collection, a collection handmade in an Atelier in Grasse, using only the finest ingredients including an exquisite oud oil LMR* at the base of this creation. The quality speaks for itself.”
