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.

Olfactory Notes

Renaissance captain Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, together with his loyalty, spartan life-style, and moral commitment inspired this creation. Imagine the smell of a military camp: the sweetness of wild shrubs, the smoke of campfire, the smell of leather horse tacks. A powdery rose – symbolizing his secret mistress – rounds up an intense core of vetiver, the great protagonist of this perfume.

Some years ago, she moved to Amsterdam and set up her own lab. There she is in charge of the full process, starting with the creation of the new perfume and finishing with its bottling.
She used the experience she had gained to create her own label. Cuir Soyeux and The Lover's Tale are some of her creations. You can find some of them at BeautyTheShop.

Top Notes: The initial impression evokes the wild, untamed landscape with aromatic notes of wild shrubs, lending a touch of green freshness. A subtle smokiness, reminiscent of a campfire's embers, intertwines with these initial notes, hinting at the fragrance's deeper layers.
Heart Notes: The heart of The Black Knight reveals a captivating duality. Powdery rose, symbolizing a hidden romance, softens the robust, earthy presence of vetiver. This dominant vetiver note grounds the fragrance, lending an intense, woody character reminiscent of leather and the ruggedness of a military campaign.
Base Notes: The enduring base further emphasizes the smoky, woody accords. The vetiver's deep, earthy aroma persists, intertwined with lingering traces of the campfire's smoke, creating a lasting impression of strength and sophistication. The powdery facet continues to soften the overall composition, adding a touch of mystery and allure.
