1# Travelogue

1# nota di viaggio (rites de passage) is a perfume with a symbolic personality, aromatic, spicy, and mysterious. This fragrance evokes an imaginative, dreamy personality that sets no limits. It tells of humanity's dialogue with its nomadic origins, as an explorer of life. In this fragrance, man is his destiny, the scent is his means to travel through time.

Istanbul

It all began in Istanbul. Each of us experiences a rite of passage in life, and for me, it was this journey, between the chaotic voices of the Grand Bazaar and the swirling scent of spices from the old market. 1# nota di viaggio (rites de passage) is my dedication to the nomads, to the souls always traveling, to the elusive spirits. A warm, spicy fragrance that, from the very first notes of black pepper, grapefruit, and bergamot, celebrates the gateway to the Orient that Constantinople once was.

Nostalgia

An ever-evolving fragrance, an olfactory metamorphosis that unfolds between the spices of the Grand Bazaar and the scent of old, precious fabrics from the market. The fragrance reaches its pulsating heart, a warm bouquet of ylang-ylang, jasmine, geranium, and rosewood. A dusty echo of nostalgia. From herbalist to perfumer, I left my path of "medicinal plants" to embark on a new one, the fragrance as "olfactory memory."

Spiritual Notes

Finally, I intertwined spiritual notes to create a woody, resinous, and deep background: benzoin, vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, and frankincense. As if at the end of a journey, alone with oneself, in a mystical and spiritual place of this magical city, this impressive gateway to the Orient.
