Spirit of Kings is the international niche house built around the work of a single nose, Christian Provenzano, the British perfumer behind earlier compositions for Penhaligon's, Agent Provocateur, Sospiro and Fragrance Du Bois. The line organises by virtue rather than note family, with releases sitting at extrait or parfum strength and a deep oud heart running through the catalogue.

Shihab for the fruity-ambery signature, Aludra for the oud-leather, Hadar for the rose-resin centre. Heavy sillage, eight-to-twelve-hour longevity. Stocked at the Khrisha Melbourne boutique with national dispatch.
