The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2020 by Electimuss and crafted by perfumer Christian Provenzano, Octavian is a unisex fragrance that seamlessly blends ancient Roman inspiration with modern artistry. The composition opens with the bright freshness of pink pepper and saffron, which then gives way to a rich heart of rose and olibanum (frankincense). At its core, the scent is anchored by warm spicy accords and amber, creating an enveloping warmth that evokes the opulence of imperial Rome. Octavian stands as a proof of Electimuss's commitment to bold and lasting fragrances.

How to wear it

Apply Octavian to pulse points for a lasting warmth. The spicy and woody notes develop gradually over time, so a light spritz in the morning will reveal its full depth by evening.
