Laskarina is a force to be reckoned with. Not only was she a strong wife and mother, she was a a naval commander, led the Greek War of Independence, and was the first woman admiral of the Imperial Russian Navy. What a woman!

Perfumer, Amelie Bourgeois, was tasked with creating a scent that reflected her paradoxical demeanor - an iron fist in a velvet glove - both soft and delicate as well as daring and dynamic.
