The hiss of an espresso machine two seconds before the cup arrives, where the crispness of citrus meets the warmth of spices and earthy woods.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Trajan by Electimuss was launched in 2020 and crafted by master perfumer Marco Genovese. This fragrance is a bold blend of citrus and warm spicy notes, creating an aromatic complexity that is both invigorating and captivating. The opening with blood orange, mandarin, lemon, and bergamot is fresh and vibrant, while the heart introduces saffron, lavender, and sage, adding layers of warmth and depth. Ambergris and cedar form a robust base, mingling with oakmoss to create an earthy and slightly metallic finish that hints at ancient Roman opulence.

How to wear it

Apply Trajan with a light touch — its metallic and spicy notes project well but can overwhelm in heavy doses. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, so it’s best suited for daytime wear when you want a scent that evolves subtly throughout the day.
