Lost in Heaven

Accords: Sweet, spicy, animalic, floral
Mood: comforting, sensual, rebellious

The duality of humanity: on the one hand, the pursuit of perfection, innocence, flawlessness, and a place free from sin; on the other, the inevitable fallibility and impossibility of correcting mistakes. The combination of white blossoms and animalistic facets represents this dichotomy and invites us to accept both idealism and imperfection as very specific human characteristics.

Lost in Heaven depicts a dream sequence in which an adult gets lost in paradise.

It represents the complexity of emotions that convey both the longing for a place of pristine innocence and unconditional love, and the inevitable and controversial burden of life, which consists of feelings of sin and guilt—real or, worse, imagined.

This dichotomy, which lies dormant in the soul of every human being, is represented by a selection of the most angelic notes: beautiful orange blossom and jasmine absolutes, along with soft heliotrope, supple sandalwood, sweet tonka bean, and many other notes that I find paradisiacal.

The darker side is conveyed in a much more subtle way, not immediately recognizable, through cumin and other spices, as well as a wide range of animal notes, including a reconstruction of Tonkin musk.

I thought about naming this perfume "Feeling Good" because that is its purpose: to make you feel like you are in paradise, not in a false, imaginary place, but in a real place where you can finally come to terms with your dark side, with the heavy burden you carry with you.

Fragile, sensual, emotional, although not technically gourmand, it reminds me of a cake, rich in spices and with an orange blossom aroma: not haute patisserie, but the archetypal scent of a cake baked by mom, with only good ingredients.
