The oldest legend in human history, in a trail.
Ambery, fruity — unforgettable precisely because it seeks not to last, but to leave a mark.
Etat Libre d'Orange has never been afraid of oversized narratives. After playing with frontal provocation and the most sophisticated restraint, the house takes on a foundational myth here: the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known narrative text in human history. Uruk Chronicles does not tell a story — it carries its ambition. Perfumer Jordi Fernández constructs a gourmand fragrance with oriental accents, where fruity radiance meets woody depth with an almost addictive obviousness.
Luminous mandarin and juicy strawberry open the composition with an immediate, almost insolent burst of gourmandise. Saffron then settles in with its spicy and precious facets — a direct nod to the flower of immortality that Gilgamesh sought at the bottom of the seas — accompanied by a delicate iris that tempers the ardor of the heart. In the base, tonka bean intertwines with cypriol and cedarwood in a woody, warm, and decidedly enveloping trail, the kind that imprints itself into memory rather than the moment.
Gilgamesh never found immortality — but his name has crossed the millennia. Uruk Chronicles makes the same bet: not to last forever, but to remain in memory.

A word from Maison Diaphane
Uruk Chronicles is the most openly gourmand proposition from Etat Libre d'Orange, and one of the most accessible in the catalog despite its outsized narrative ambition. The strawberry-saffron accord in the opening is a risky bet — the strawberry could easily tip into easy sweetness, but the saffron holds it back and gives it a spicy backbone. The real tour de force remains the cypriol-cedar-tonka base, warm enough to anchor the whole without ever weighing it down. A perfume that tells a legend without ever taking itself too seriously.

Uruk Chronicles Eau de Parfum by Etat Libre d'Orange is a unisex fruity ambery perfume from the Parisian niche perfume house founded in 2006. Composed by perfumer Jordi Fernández, it pays tribute to the Epic of Gilgamesh, the oldest known story in human history, through a gourmand fragrance with oriental accents. Available at Maison Diaphane, official retailer in Angers. Free delivery from €100 (in France).
Its olfactory pyramid opens with a luminous and gourmand strawberry-Ebelia-mandarin accord, preceding a spicy and powdery saffron-iris-pomarose heart that directly evokes the legend's flower of immortality. The base, carried by tonka bean, cypriol, and cedarwood, establishes a woody, warm, and particularly persistent trail. As an Eau de Parfum, the composition deploys all its gourmand density with a pronounced sillage.
Uruk Chronicles is an addictive and memorable fruity ambery perfume, designed to leave a lasting impression rather than to go unnoticed. Its unisex nature and woody warmth make it a signature suitable for both cool seasons and evening wear, for those seeking a trail that one does not forget.
Does the name really refer to the Epic of Gilgamesh?
Yes. Uruk was Gilgamesh's city, and the perfume pays tribute to his quest for the flower of immortality, symbolized here by the saffron accord at the heart of the composition.
Is Uruk Chronicles a very sweet perfume?
It remains gourmand without being overly sugary — the strawberry and mandarin provide the fruity radiance, but the saffron and cedarwood balance the composition toward a warmth that is more spicy than candied.
What is the longevity of the sillage?
A pronounced and particularly persistent trail, carried by the tonka bean-cypriol-cedar base, which continues to reveal itself several hours after application.
What season is Uruk Chronicles for?
Its woody warmth and gourmand density naturally destine it for autumn and winter, as well as for evenings all year round.
