The constant search for qualitative raw materials is crucial for the achievement of a great result. The same formula performed with materials coming from different suppliers will sort out a different olfactory profile.
My perfumes are conceived in my laboratory in Amsterdam. When the formula is ready, I can finally order the raw materials in order to mix them.
The resulting concentrate is then sent out to an artisanal atelier in Italy which put it in alcohol, let it age, and then take care of packing it.
The creation of a perfume is a very long and complex process, and it takes me a hermit life to devise a formula which I then blend, holding my breath at every drop I add as in a sacred ritual.
At those ecstatic and silent moments, I feel like an alchemist which – through a transformation – gives birth to something new, which is not the simple addition of different materials.
After I graduated in History of Art in Florence, my passion for perfume making started, by a book on natural perfumery and a handful of essential oils. Since then, I’ve been studying and experimenting on my own. I have resided in many cities – Florence, Berlin, Luxembourg, Amsterdam – while working in art book publishing.
Once in Amsterdam – where I currently live – I decided to quit my previous job and launch my own line of perfumes.

Top Notes: The initial impression is likely a captivating blend of earthy Iris, immediately showcasing its multifaceted nature with a subtle, yet distinct Oudh facet. This intriguing duality is further enhanced by a touch of warm spice, hinting at the oriental character to come.
Heart Notes: As the fragrance unfolds, the Iris heart takes center stage, revealing a rich and voluptuous character. The "dirty" aspect mentioned in the original description likely translates to earthy, rooty, and perhaps slightly animalic nuances, adding depth and complexity. The Oudh accord continues to intertwine with the Iris, creating a mysterious and alluring aura. Spicy and woody notes begin to emerge, building the bridge between the floral heart and the oriental base.
Base Notes: The lingering drydown is expected to be a warm and sensual embrace of Oudh, grounding the fragrance with its characteristic woody, resinous, and slightly smoky aroma. The Iris persists, albeit softer now, adding a touch of powdery elegance. The spicy woody oriental accord reaches its full expression, creating a luxurious and lasting impression.
