GENTLE KING · During a private journey on the Serengeti prairies, the
perfumer witnessed, for the very first time, a lion woke up from a nap.
Its languid yawn with bloody jaws opened up struck him vehemently.
Such an instinctive vibration swelled in him that only with a perfume
could he express this unspeakable feeling.
Compared to the proud andindependent lions, human beings are more
like blindly conforming gnus, yet regarding themselves as kings while
neglecting their influences on the world. A tribute to and symbol of the
prairie lions, this perfume expresses the genuine reverence to the
Gentle King
