In 1799, one discovery unlocked the language of an ancient civilization. Today, we celebrate that discovery with RASHEED — Egypt's greatest key to history, now an extrait de parfum.
In 1799, near the town of Rosetta, a slab of granodiorite surfaced from the sand — carrying the same decree in hieroglyphic, demotic, and Greek. For the first time, a forgotten language found its translator.
RASHEED carries the same idea forward — raspberry and black pepper ignite like a spark of discovery, while rose, geranium, and olibanum unfold the heart of the message. Sandalwood, myrrh, and birch tar close the inscription.
One of modern perfumery's most celebrated noses, working within Nilafar Du Nil's continuing tradition of drawing inspiration from Egypt's ancient civilization — translated into scent.

"From the stone that spoke three languages, a fragrance was born."
RASHEED is the scent of revelation — a tribute to the Rosetta Stone, where mystery met meaning and silence found a voice. Created by Dominique Ropion, RASHEED decodes the essence of civilization itself: raspberry and black pepper ignite the air, Egyptian rose and olibanum unfold at the heart, and sandalwood, leather, and smoky birch tar close the inscription.
