ESTORAS

There are adventurers who hear the call before anyone else does.

Prince ANTAL heard it. Count Almásy heard it.

It did not come from a stage or a piano.

It came from the Sahara. From the open road. From the thing that pulls someone forward before they know why.

Adventure, like a melody, needs no translation. It creates memories that become the soundtrack of one’s life.

SHORES OF ASYUT begins in that fleeting hour when the desert finally exhales and the night gathers softly along the banks of the Nile.

Sparkling gin, juniper, black and pink pepper open the scent. At its heart, orris unfolds with violet leaf and tuberose, lending a quiet, powdery elegance that mirrors the last gold of sunset on the river.

The base settles into amber, oak, polished wood, moss, and a trace of brown sugar, warm and gently intoxicating, like rest found after a long road.

WOODY. POWDERY. GOURMAND.

You tuck ANTAL into the bag, quiet and sure.

The day may lead one way, the night another, because the road will not ask. It only takes you.

PORT OF ALEXANDRIA is the first sight of land after a long sea crossing. The air is thick with salt, heat, and the promise of everything still ahead.

Bright lemon and bergamot are carried on a restless sea breeze, cut by a faint metallic trace of gasoline. On the Mediterranean wind come the dry woods of the coast — cypress, cedar, and pine — while moss settles warm and steady, like the sun-baked shore beneath your feet once more.

AQUATIC. SALTY. WOODY.

Exactly 100 years ago today, on 22 February 1926, Prince ANTAL Esterházy and his best friend, Count László Almásy, landed in the port of Alexandria and set out on the journey of a lifetime.

They did not know what the road would bring them, only that it was meant to be taken. What followed was the first Sahara crossing of its kind.

A century later, their spirit of adventure still moves us forward, carried in every horizon we dare to chase.
