Areej Le Doré - War and Peace 2

War and Peace II by Areej Le Doré is a legendary animalic leather extrait built around amber, rose, orris, patchouli, natural musk, castoreum, civet, ambergris, oakmoss, and vetiver. Released as a limited fragrance and now discontinued, it has become one of the house’s cult creations: the kind of scent collectors talk about because it feels less like a polished mainstream perfume and more like true perfumery art.

Available in 2 ml, 5 ml, or 10 ml sizes, it is ideal for discovery, travel, or experiencing the composition before committing to a full bottle.

War and Peace II earns its reputation immediately. It opens with amber, but not in a soft or easy way — this is a glowing, dense, almost molten amber that prepares you for something far richer underneath. Very quickly, Taif rose, rose, orris, and Indian patchouli rise through the composition, giving it a beautiful contrast between floral refinement and darker, earthier depth. Then the base reveals why this fragrance has become so respected among serious collectors: castoreum, civet, ambergris, natural musk, oakmoss, vetiver, and more amber create an animalic leather effect that feels primal, regal, and completely uncompromising. It is not designed to be merely pleasant. It is designed to leave an impression, and that is exactly why so many people see it as one of Areej Le Doré’s most unforgettable creations.

Part of what makes War and Peace II feel legendary is the way it represents the Areej Le Doré philosophy at full strength. Its limited production, discontinued status, and intensely animalic leather profile have all helped build its cult reputation. This is the kind of fragrance people do not just wear — they remember it, hunt for it, and compare other releases to it.

Scent Profile

Animalic, leathery, rosy, mossy, and ambered. War and Peace II opens with a glowing amber warmth, then moves into a rich floral heart of rose, Taif rose, orris, and patchouli before settling into a dense animalic base of musk, castoreum, civet, ambergris, oakmoss, and vetiver. The result is dramatic, textured, and deeply memorable — a fragrance with real authority and soul.
