RAVEL perfumes to delight your senses and bring joy (peace) to your soul.

A very large bottle.

A captivating, mysterious, exquisitely floral, leathery fragrance, lasting 16 hours or more with just a few drops, thanks to the precious red Mysore sandalwood oil from India, with its exceptionally soft, sweet, woody, animalic balsamic scent with hints of vanilla, one of the finest women's fragrances from RAVEL PERFUMES—and more besides.

ORPHEA, a women's fragrance named in honor of the lyric poet and musician ORPHEUS (6th century BC).  

Ravel Perfumes (The name was chosen after the composer), was founded by Aizic Manole in the 1940s, following the dissolution of his partnership with the Legrain perfumery (1915), shortly before the Second World War. It became active in 1945—Ravel Perfumes in Nice, France, and had a branch in New York.

Burgundy-colored box, with an image at its center showing nymphs dancing as they listen to Orpheus's songs.

Heavy, clear glass bottle, with beautiful diamond-shaped patterns embedded in the glass from the middle of the bottle down—a product of Czech craftsmen from the former Czechoslovakia.

Round cap, in burgundy.

A fragrance with top notes of Bergamot, Orange, and Neroli (Orange Blossom), creating a refreshing aura; heart notes that add touches of floral elegance—Rose, Arabian Jasmine (Jasminum sambac), Hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis), Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis), Orris Root (Iris pallida); base notes that wrap you in a warm, unforgettable embrace for at least 16 hours—Oakmoss (Evernia prunastri), Patchouli (Pogostemon cablin), Vetiver (Vetiveria zizanioides), Amber, Musk (Moschus moschiferus), and Mysore Sandalwood.    

An enigmatic, captivating, intoxicating fragrance—in short, a rare treasure featuring authentic red Mysore sandalwood. When it was released, synthetic sandalwood derivatives did not exist, and it more than holds its own against fragrances such as GUERLAIN's original SAMSARA (1989)—it could even be the first across the finish line. 

The product was manufactured by VIAROM LTD (ΒΙΑΡΩΜ Ε.Π.Ε.), 17th km Rafina–Pallini, and distributed by PHILIPPOS GEORGANTAS 1864 S.A., 7–9 Chalandriou Avenue, Melissia, Attica; we were the exclusive sellers as authorized distributors.
