Cleopatra's Power Play, 47 BC

The olfactory portrait shows the moment when the deep sensuality of the moment mixes with tough pragmatism.

An alabaster texture, meticulously crafted through white musks complemented by sweet resins, exotic woods, and milky accords, harmonizes with vibrant green, dewy notes of palm leaves, accompanied by fruity nuances of dates and pomegranate.

Cleopatra VII's first meeting with Julius Caesar in the Alexandrian palace is the moment when the intimacy and mutual curiosity of the two prominent strategists of antiquity becomes the setting for the great political game that would redefine the balance of power in the Mediterranean just a year later.
