Your Essence

Based on the evocative image you have selected, your essence is closely linked in the mediation between water and fire. Two vital forces that collide in the search for a loving embrace. In your introspective research, the fire needs a moist and not dry fragrance, which otherwise would fuel its exuberance already inherent in it.  Its temperament represents the age of adolescence and among the four seasons it is associated with summer. With a proud bearing and resolute step, fire is excitable and prone to outbursts of anger, passionate but also ambitious, strong-willed and determined, generally expansive and energetic, sometimes obstinate, cunning, changeable, extravagant, while water, its opposite twin, at times it stagnates like a lake, at other times it agitates in a stormy sea. The notes that most represent this harmony are represented by precious woods, tea, vanilla, intense oud and accords that recall spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg and cloves, without forgetting tobacco and rose. From the union of these two forces, warm and intense fragrances are generated, capable of raising spiritual dimensions that express passion and sacredness such as incense, myrrh, and styrax. The idea is a perfume that releases all the vital energy of a sea storm, but which then leaves a calm and persistent trail, like the winter sea.  The fragrances that best express this symbolism belong to the aromatic notes, which convey freshness and liveliness, such as thyme, basil, sage, rosemary, mint, but also the more sophisticated oriental tea notes, Ylang Ylang, Saffron, Beeswax, Myrtle and Rose. Floral notes such as Lavender and Iris, the fresh and captivating Lily, which blends easily with the skin, but also notes capable of toning down eccentricity such as the marine or aquatic ones of a Narcissus or a solitary Lotus Flower.
