Lu Bu

Sora Dora Lu Bu – blackness and ash descend over the plain. Through the hazy light of fog slowly receding across the ground, Lu Bu rises. Upright, almost unreal, like a shadow shaped from smoke – the last sight of battle at its end. Once the Empire’s most fearsome warrior, son of iron and fire, now betrayed and marked by his own legend that consumes him from within. In a dense, dark and magnetic scent, Sora Dora finds its rebirth. On the skin, it leaves a trace like a scar – notes are direct and metallic, opening with vibrant, bitter-spicy clove that carries the sharpness of blood on still-warm weapons. As the heart quickens, in the brief space between beats and silence, Armenian paper leaf burns – a lost altar – while iris, noble and powdery, whispers of the hero’s loneliness. More than a scent of glory or power, Lu Bu speaks of sacrifice, memory and loyalty. It is a perfume like an oath – it doesn’t seek to please, but to be chosen. Like a weapon that recognizes its warrior. For those who carry their shadows with pride, whose presence echoes like an epitaph, and silence like a declaration.
