Discovering J'Elle Bulan Parfums

Menelik II exudes mystery, like a pleasant dream you are fighting to remember.

This fragrance is to represent the resilience, wisdom, and strength of Menelik II, who shrewdly rose to power from reclaiming the kingdom of Shewa to Emperor of Ethiopia. Menelik II escaped death and used great wisdom to survive and rise to power.  His wisdom transformed Cush into an empire-state in just a few years into his reign and ended Italian ambitions to colonize Ethiopia at the battle of Adwa. 

This fragrance is set to transform you into a state of mystery and intrigue. 

A woodsy perfume with an Asiatic rose blend, citrus accords, blue tansy, mint, Oud, amber, and cedarwood, with smokiness and leather in the background. It is then wrapped in the creaminess of Sandalwood. It embodies elegance and the strength one would find in the staying power of the trees, while making the wearer feel the warm embrace of a cabin during the winter. 

Parfum concentration: 25%  

This fragrance is scheduled for discovery in the fall of 2024. 

Perfumer: J'Elle / One batch only.
