Chimaera

This unforgettable journey starts with a sailboat trip in the Gulf of Fethiye, known in history as the "land of light and fire", then a surreal stopover in Olympos. Huge flames of fire emerge from the mountain, visible from the sea during warm summer nights. Like Phoenician sailors, we navigated through pristine coves and hills covered with pine trees that reach down to the sea, surrounded by slopes full of scents of thyme, sage, laurel and rare "frankincense trees", almost extinct, that fill the air with a breathtaking explosion of scents and colors.

A scent of wild and lush nature, at the same time sweet and warm, enhanced by the intense smell of melted caramel that rises from small camps at the foot of the mountain, where rest is sought before the ascent begins. This scent hangs strong in the air and is reflected in the blue of the sea, from the ruins of the ancient city to the lighthouse of Cape Gelidonya, which rises lonely in a place full of history and legends.

The tensions and attraction of this interplay of elements, fire and water, are captured and contained in a perfume extract made from rare and precious natural raw materials. This pristine, rugged and wild area contains all the splendor and power of the Mediterranean Sea, which spews supernatural fire like an ancient Greek deity, brought to life by the Chimera.
