"Then, when all other lights are out,
And all is silent round,
The hammer's stroke we hear,
We hear the saw of carpenter,
Who with closed doors his vigil keeps,
Toils o'er his lamp and strives so hard,
His work to finish ere the dawn appear."

Il sabato del villaggio, Giacomo Leopardi

Jasmines Central element of the perfume. A climbing shrub with highly fragrant white flowers and dark green leaves; in India it is a sacred plant to the goddess Vishnu and used as a ritual offering. It is the aphrodisiac par excellence, bringing warmth and relaxation while dispelling frigidity and impotence. It has remarkable flair and elegant bearing when placed in a small pot in one’s artisan workshop. Here it is abundantly present in a harmonious blend of Chinese jasmine sambac absolute, with its slightly green and citrusy notes (enhanced by the neroli added to the composition); jasmine auriculatum absolute: more roaring and indolic, almost gardenia-like, yet slightly graceless and imprecise; Indian jasmine grandiflorum absolute: more classical, opulent, and long-lasting; Italian jasmine absolute from Gerace obtained through enfleurage: extremely fragrant, intense, and truly luminous. The result is a vivid and multifaceted jasmine. Finally enriched by a tincture of jasmine flowers co-extracted with Calabrian lemons, bringing an unusual sweet-sour sweetness. Oud

Another key pillar of the project. 30 g of Oud Wild Purple Prachim, a Thai oud used here at times to enhance the warm, enveloping, and spicy woody aspect at the base of the composition, and at times to highlight the wild, animalic, almost smoky facet of the jasmine accord. 30 g of wild Indonesian oud (Padang and Merauke), used here to intensify the woody character and create a foundation. Oud protects and lends a regal quality. The composition thus becomes almost a talisman.

 Cinnamon

Cinnamomum zeylanicum. A plant with a millennia-old history, queen of spices. It purifies, energizes and dispels cold. A powerful aphrodisiac whose aroma of sweet spice, without betraying its woody bark nature, pairs beautifully both with the jasmine harmony, enhancing it, and with the dry sweetness of aged wood. Here present as premium essential oil and tincture of Ceylon cinnamon bark.

Woods

A descriptive element of the project. They accompany the delicate gentleness of jasmine, immersing you in the workshop of a luthier. They are planks of different woods, seasoned and ready to become a soundboard. They are boards that will receive perfectly applied lacquer glazes. They are the origin of music. Represented here through the distillation of aged Muhuhu bark (Brachylaena hutchinsii), juniper wood, Ispinku wood (Ocotea quixos), Chamaecyparis lawsoniana wood, Tuscan pine wood, and Buaya wood (Aethoxylon sympetalum). Their combination brings nuances ranging from lightly smoky tones to resinous facets and the scent of slowly drying wood. It harmonizes with the warm, spicy sweetness of cinnamon and the shy arrogance of jasmine, creating a composition that is truly intense, long-lasting, and absolutely yet discreetly seductive.
