This perfume is an oriental floral par excellence which however has refined citrus notes. In fact, Petitgrain essential oil and Neroli essential oil are both extracted from the bitter orange plant. The first, from the fruits at the end of the flowers, the second, from the flowers. This union not only brings out the fresh notes of vetiver and rose, but by contrasting the brown and bitter earthiness of nutmeg, it emphasizes their presence. Guido Gozzano writes “” … I see imaginary and fabulous horizons like the sceneries, the sparse calm where the sailors traded spices and rare woods … “. The oriental inspiration of this fragrance has precisely the contours of a woody, spicy, bitter spring, with at the same time a flowery breeze, sweet of the first warm and fresh in memory of the winter coolness.
