‘The Deities Collection recounts the tale of three Southeast Asian mythical creatures – the Nagar Min, Balu, and Galone – and explores the essence of beings and the intricate dualities that exist within us. The first fragrance in the collection, Nagar Min represents a half-dragon, half-human deity known for its zeal and courage, but also for its danger and explosive temper. Nagar Min is a spicy dark oud scent opening with fiery notes of chilli & sichuan pepper, leading into a warm heart of rosewood & labdanum, and rounding off with a deep base of olibanum & dark oudh. Each character represents both the light and shadow sides innate to all of us, and the need to accept, evolve and work with all the sides of ourselves. Think: How do we constructively channel the inner fire within us to propel us forward in the directions that we want and away from directions of cruelty?’ – Gabar
