LORE
According to Old Balkan mythology, the Todorci are ruthless horsemen, considered to be vile entities with an unknown true name. These beings are a terrifying fusion of man and horse, their form resembling a human grotesquely emerging from the back of a horse. Cloaked and faceless, armed with sabers, their presence is often marked by ominous thuds, leaving behind only hoofprints as traces of evidence of their visitations.

"Todorac is my love letter to the Balkans. It’s a bit of a mash-up—some real things, some clichés, all tossed into the beaker. There’s Pelinkovac, plenty of Rakija (Šljiva and Dunja are my preferred), and the smoky scent of beeswax candles from the Orthodox Church. The whole thing is drenched in immortelle absolute, like, a lot of it. That’s why the juice is so dark. It’s loud, persistent, clings to your skin—and to be honest, it’s the kind of scent you wear with a bit of hesitation.”
