New Brand Estoras: Antal and shadows of Giza
History behind Estoras perfumes
Top niche fragrances inspired by travel
Antal was the first fragrance released by Estoras and stands as the original scent of the brand. Its creation was inspired by Prince Antal's 1926 journey to the Sahara. Antal, a nobleman known for his adventurous spirit, curiosity, and bold exploration of northern Africa with Count László Almásy, later became the source of inspiration for The English Patient novel and film. The brand's narrative positions this journey as a pursuit of horizons, blending courage and elegance, and the Antal perfume channels this spirit through its olfactory essence.
Fragrance inspired by Egyptian history
Shadows Of Giza is part of “The Adventures of Antal” series. After departing Alexandria during their expedition, Antal and Almasy reached the Giza plateau near Cairo in the evening, witnessing the sunset casting long shadows over the pyramids. This moment became the conceptual muse for "Shadows of Giza Estoras". The fragrance draws on the mystery and timeless calm of the Giza Plateau, capturing the contrast between the harsh desert heat and cool shadows at dusk.
