Product Deep Dive
1. Series and Character: The Starting Point
Core Status: This “stag head” fragrance represents Lord George the patriarch of the noble family. He is the beginning and core of the entire Animal Portrait series story, and almost all other characters’ stories are related to him.
Profile: Lord George is a traditional, wealthy, respected, and faithful to marriage British aristocrat. However, the “tragedy” lies in the fact that behind his gentleman image, there is a huge secret hidden (implicating his sexual orientation), which wins sympathy for him and also foreshadows the drama of the entire family. The image the stag perfectly symbolizes his nobility, strength, and tradition.
