This perfume has an old Getic inspiration and was named after the biggest priest of Dacian tribes, Deceneu.

This is a spicy amber, very classy, unisex and safe scent, leaning more on the masculine side.

Deceneu was a priest of Dacia during the reign of Burebista (82/61–45/44 BC). He is mentioned in the near-contemporary Greek Geographica of Strabo and in the 6th century Latin Getica of Jordanes, where he is called Dicineus.

In Strabo’s account, Deceneu is the second most powerful man among the Dacian and Getic tribes and their high priest. His support for Burebista is key to the latter’s attaining and holding power over all the tribes. He succeeded to political power in a reduced area after Burebista’s death, but he does not appear to have taken the royal title.

Deceneu is part of collection Mirrors of Time, where the inspiration was one of the mirrors from my grandparents house in which I grew up.
