Named after the atmospheric and energetic presence of ‘Mount Athos’, the ancient monastery in Greece known for its dedication to prayer and worship, Àthos holds a sacred mystique. Warm undertones of pimento and nutmeg create a spicy base in this cologne’s profile, while the addition of mastic lends to the resinous, fresh, balsamic body.
In these golden subtle layers, notes of frankincense and myrrh contribute familiar, woody and earthy impressions, also offering a quiet pine-like tone. Soft hints of rose hold a gentle ambiance in Àthos’ dried-down essence.
This scent conjures a vision of witnessing yellow-hued morning sunlight stream from behind a historic building; there is a reverent ambiance to Àthos, like a precious glimpse into something powerful. Taking on several forms, this cologne “comes together as it comes apart”, with many stories resting on its altar.

The distant sound of bells tolling,
summoning the soul
dedicated to prayer.
The light,
ancient atmosphere
of holy artefacts and sacred places -
ethereal whispers,
the warmth of worship,
the revered stories of discovery
folded into the divine presence
of monastic silence.
A place of sanctuary
settled in the deep resonance of
its chimes of wisdom
that echo throughout history.
Notes: rose. mastic leaf. pimento.
Feeling: spicy. warm. holy.
