Djedi (1926, by Jacques Guerlain)
With this review I participate in the game "Settimana INCOM...commerciale" on Adjiumi forum! This scent is named after a magician lived in ancient Egypt during Pharaoh Cheops' reign, his extraordinary abilities are told in a collection of ancient papyrus. In fact, when this fragrance was born, the aesthetics related to Ancient Egypt was extremely trendy: jewels and furniture of that period, in the most exquisite Art Dèco style, were often inspired by Egyptian models just brought to light by researchers/adventurers who went rummaging in the pyramids. Let's say that Guerlain have always been very good at capturing the fashions of the moment , turning the various actors of culture and society which people talked about, fantasized about and fell in love with, into perfumes.
