CIRO Ptah

Language creates worlds. It moves, touches, changes and captivates in stories and history. Its god is Ptah, the ancient Egyptian god, the father of the gods and the source of all life. Like the spiritual creation of a novel that takes us into strange spheres, the power of words has remained. And to this day our language is the beginning of all our being and all what we become.

PTAH pays homage to the imagination that through the power word breaks all barriers – and is dedicated to those subtle aesthetes who passionately indulge in the temptations of independent thought.

Our lively imagination cools the citrusy freshness of bergamot which, in a duet with the herbwoody fruitiness of ginger accompanied by herbaceous sage, forms the top note. This leads to a smoky-powdery heart: Orris and incense, accompanied by dark green luminous geranium, which breathes delicate echoes of rose. The contrast between creamy vanilla spiced up by Tonka and masculine leather creates an ambivalence that is skillfully enhanced by the salty-grassy smokiness of vetiver.
