The lore
When the three brothers divided the world by lot, Zeus drew the sky and Poseidon the sea. Hades drew the realm below, and everything that lies beneath the earth became his.
The Greeks also called him Plouton, the Wealthy One, because every vein of gold and every buried seed belonged to him. He wore a helm that made him unseen, and he kept the gates that no one passes twice.
No. 2 Hades is a scent for after dark. Saffron and black pepper strike first, with a trace of the pomegranate that bound Persephone to his kingdom. Incense, leather and cypress follow. Then the oud arrives, deep and smoky and slow, with patchouli and dark amber beneath it.
