Devlet-i Ebed-müddet "The eternal state"
A journey back to the time of the Ottoman Empire. With its magnificent appearance, Ottoman Empire IV embodies a time when the trade in spices, perfume, architecture and power played a completely different role in everyday life.
The art of perfume making flourished, with fragrances as personal expression and status symbols. The trade in spices and perfume contributed to cultural sophistication and economic prosperity.
Ottoman Empire IV is a fusion of diverse aromas from the Middle East, Asia and Europe.
Full of spices that can also be found in Russian Adam's creation. Cinnamon, cardamom and saffron. Turkish roses and frangipani are accompanied by nutmeg, the very restrained vetiver and Jamaican pepper, which seems out of place. It tries to bring a certain edginess to the very rounded composition.
It is a spectacle of top and heart notes.
The trade routes of the time paved the way for a lively exchange with France, whose influence is clearly perceptible
The fragrance is round, elegant and delicate, yet at the same time present and by no means restrained, which is also reflected in the impressive bottle. Ottoman glass artists were known for their ability to produce artistically designed and decorated glassware. The Ottomans also maintained close trade relations with other centers of glass production in Europe and the Middle East, which led to an exchange of techniques and designs.
An art embedded in amber, oud and moss - that's how you could sum it up in one sentence.
For some, this fragrance may seem a little overloaded and wild at first. But this first impression should quickly fade and a very pleasant, almost perfectly balanced creation emerges. It is as if you have stepped into a time capsule. This is how I imagine the scent of a flourishing empire that is in its prime and does not seem to tire.
Equally amusing in the light of the former motto "Devlet-i Ebed-müddet" - the eternal state - is the fact that this is already the fourth edition of this fragrance. It does indeed seem to be of timeless duration, and it always charmingly reminds us of times gone by.
