Throne

From Zhufu Fragrance
Inspired by the legacy of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Qin dynasty, which was marked by countless hardships, ultimately leading to a reflection that was as piercing and bitter as thorns.

The fragrance opens with a sharp and invigorating blend of grapefruit, bitter orange, lime, and mint, reminiscent of the bright and bold aspirations of Qin Shi Huang, reflecting the dynamic energy of his reign. These notes capture the essence of power—vibrant yet slightly bitter. As the heart unfolds, the warmth of pink pepper and black pepper introduces a complex interplay of spice, symbolising the contradictions of desire and ambition that shaped his rule. Finally, the base notes of cashmere wood, cedarwood, and vetiver provide a grounding finish, embodying the enduring nature of his legacy. The rich, woody aromas mirroring the weight of history and power, leaving a lasting impression that resonates with the profound depths of desire and the shadows cast by ambition.
