In the Great Steppe, for a long time, the legend has been handed down of the proud-hearted Queen Tomyris who defied the great King of the Persians and his invincible army. Until that day, the Steppe has never witnessed a commander and politician of equal power, wisdom, and influence. Her victory turned the world history upside down and forced the whole world to talk respecully and fearfully about the menacing nomad tribes and their proud-hearted warlike Queen.

All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a scent for close range and steady presence, the kind that reads as composed rather than loud. It suits a wearer who wants a powdery, herbal floral with a vintage edge, something that feels poised in conversation and slightly magnetic without trying too hard.
How to wear
Best in mild to cool weather, where its herbal opening and powdery floral heart can unfold without becoming heavy. Apply lightly to let the calamus, carnation and sandalwood stay defined; with a few sprays it should sit close to the skin at first, then leave a soft woody-floral trail.
Who it’s for
For those who like floral fragrances with an old-school signature, herbal nuance and a dry woody base. It will appeal to wearers who enjoy powdery textures, restrained sensuality and compositions that feel more distinctive than pretty.

The nose
Angela Ciampagna. Known for a style that often leans tactile and atmospheric, Ciampagna works with textured florals, woods and balsamic materials to create fragrances that feel intimate, layered and slightly nostalgic. Her compositions frequently balance a refined structure with a raw, artisanal edge, which suits The Legend of Tomiris well: the scent’s herbal-green opening, powdery floral heart and woody base echo her taste for compositions that feel both polished and characterful.
Aura of Kazakhstan’s story
Aura of Kazakhstan is a Kazakh house built around heritage and place, using perfume as a way to translate the Great Steppe’s landscape, memory and historical identity into scent. Its work feels rooted in narrative, but not folkloric for its own sake: the compositions aim to express national character through materials, texture and atmosphere.
The Legend of Tomiris’s concept
The Legend of Tomiris is inspired by Tomyris, the warrior queen of the Great Steppe whose victory over the Persian king became part of regional legend and historical memory. The fragrance frames that story through a green, floral-woody composition that feels both ceremonial and personal, turning a figure of power into something wearable and intimate.
Extra info
