SADAYU | Wings fluttering, soaring high through the clouds, Majestic “Sadayu,” king of the sky, proud, Crossing vast oceans with power profound,
To Himmapan forest, where wonders abound. Golden light shines on emerald green trees, Great hawk glides on wind, savoring the breeze, Bringing joy and delight to the spirit, Till a maiden’s song is heard from afar.

SADAYU | Sadayu, a prominent figure in Ramayana (Ramakien), Thailand’s
celebrated epic, is depicted as a powerful emerald-green bird capable of
commanding the winds. A son of the Garuda king, Sadayu embodies
unwavering loyalty and honesty, refusing to lie even at great personal cost.
In the tale, Sadayu confronts Ravana during Sita’s abduction, unleashing
his immense power to destroy Ravana’s forces. Despite his strength,
Sadayu’s honesty becomes his downfall when Ravana tricks him into
revealing his weakness. Mortally wounded, Sadayu uses his last strength
to deliver vital news and Sita’s ring to Rama, symbolizing his bravery and
loyalty.
This fragrance draws not only from Sadayu’s tale but also from the
majestic image of a powerful, honest bird soaring through the skies. It
reimagines this essence in a modern Fougere composition, merging
refreshing green accords with deeper, evocative tones.
Sadayu opens with the cool and invigorating notes of Spearmint and
Bergamot, reminiscent of fresh winds in flight. The heart reveals the
distinctive aroma of Holy Basil, cherished in Indian culture as a sacred
herb believed to ward off negativity and purify the spirit. This meaningful
note pairs beautifully with the warm, spicy, and subtly sweet nuances of
Myrrh, adding depth and character.
The base is elegantly grounded with Ambroxan, a contemporary note that
enhances longevity and warmth, paired with Coumarin, which lends a soft,
creamy sweetness. Together, they create a balanced and memorable finish
that exudes sophistication and comfort.
Perfect for those seeking an unconventional and inspiring scent, Sadayu
celebrates the enduring legend of courage and loyalty. It is a tribute to a
timeless story and the powerful symbolism of an emerald bird soaring with
integrity.
