AKKAD EAU DE PARFUM

Akkad, a powerful aroma

The Akkad perfume from the famous house called Lubin is a fragrance that evokes the best of those sensations hidden in the skin thanks to its rich accords that form an unexpected mix of elegance. A fragrance from the Woody family and launched in 2012 by Delphine Thierry that causes unique sensations.

I am Sargon, powerful ruler of Akkad, who made Aqqi the gardener of the Grand Marais, between the Tigris and the Euphrates. The essence of Akkad is the gift left to me by the beautiful Ishtar, who loves me and protects me. We found all the most precious ointments from the Pound, and also those from the islands of the Great Sea, and from others that come from even further afield. This amber is the light that illuminates my kingdom, it is the most precious treasure of my empire.

It comes in a unique and charming container that, thanks to its size, is very practical. It also conveys extreme elegance with its glass bottle and its characteristic cap that represents the most beautiful of the crafts of the time.

Pierre-François Lubin is considered the founder of modern perfumery. The famous perfumer Jean-Louis Fargeon, whose Parisian workshop was near the family home, introduced him to the art of perfumery in 1784, at the young age of 10. Little by little, the young man became the repository of the beauty recipes of the royal court of France. Fargeon, descendant of an ancient dynasty of perfumers originally from Montpellier, was Marie Antoinette's official supplier. After the first stages of the French Revolution, the queen, who had had to move with her family to the Tuileries in the autumn of 1789, received packages from her faithful perfumer through the young apprentice Lubin. The sovereign refreshed herself every day with exquisite preparations made with bergamot and orange essence. She also adored the perfume of roses, which Fargeon extracted with masterful skill, because it reminded her of the gardens of the Trianon.
