DELPHES
A MEDITERRANEAN MYTH
Born from the luminous landscapes of the Mediterranean and created in exclusive collaboration with master perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena, Delphes is an olfactory journey to the mythical sanctuary of Delphi. Inspired by a place suspended between mountain and sea, where ancient olive groves descend toward the water, the fragrance captures the essence of summer in the Mediterranean: sun-warmed stone, wild vegetation, mineral air, and endless horizons. At its heart lies Olive Grignon Absolute, a rare material never before used in perfumery, expressing the full character of the olive tree through its branches, leaves, fruit, and wood.
“Delphes is an interpretation of the olive tree in all its dimensions. I wanted to capture its strength, its freshness, and its connection to the Mediterranean landscape through a formula that is simple, precise, and full of light.”
— Jean-Claude Ellena
Fresh, aromatic, and woody, Delphes unfolds through olive wood, cedarwood, violet leaf, and black pepper, revealing a scent that feels both timeless and unexpected. Celebrated for its singular character, Delphes has been recognized among the year’s most distinctive fragrances, earning accolades including Marie Claire’s Best Mineral Scent award. Like the ancient city that inspired it, Delphes exists between earth and sky, reality and imagination—an invitation to experience the Mediterranean through a new lens.
