Atlantide is a legendary and mysterious island, whose myth is mentioned for the first time by Plato in the dialogues Timaeus (17-27) and Critias, in the 4th century BC. According to Plato's account, Atlantis would have been a naval power located "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" and would have sunk "in a single day and night of misfortune" at the hands of Poseidon. For many centuries this legend has nourished the imagination of men, it represents the wonderful and mysterious lost things but for us going to the discovery of Atlantis also represents the longest journey and the most fascinating adventure that can be accomplished: the journey into our I deeper and more submerged. Immerse yourself in the most ancestral and animal emotions, in the irrational part of our being of which we are unaware, in the place where perfumes live and express themselves in their magical language. The discovery and acceptance of our submerged self is a challenge to be faced in our mature age when we possess the courage to immerse ourselves in new experiences to fearlessly listen to the voice of our inner world, to encounter our most secret shadows and lights. Don't be afraid, listen to the bewitching song of the sirens because according to Cicero, this song in the Homeric epic is a promise of knowledge: Odysseus was in fact not attracted by the sweetness of their sound, but by the insatiable desire to learn. Immerse yourself in salt water, listen to your skin and let yourself be guided by your sense of smell to communicate with your deepest and most unknown self. You will find the way if you first have the courage to get lost. “Make the unconscious conscious, otherwise the unconscious will guide your life and you will call it destiny” (Carl Gustav Jung). The fragrance opens with sparkling and persuasive notes, the wonderful Calabrian bergamot, also called green gold, gives this first listening a strong Italian identity, the ancient rose accompanies it and enriches it with intense and elegant scents with the soft and sweet embrace of the passion fruit. The heart warms up in sophisticated seduction with the perturbing aroma of Narcissus, which enhances the power of the flower of sin with its carnal and inebriating trail, the unmistakable and hypnotic aroma of tuberose. In the Renaissance, young girls were forbidden to smell its narcotic perfume so as not to "fall into temptation". A similar prohibition was also applied in India - where its name ki rani means "courtesan of the night" - as this flower gives off its aroma after sunset and it was believed that its perfume could make one fall into an oblivion of sentimentality from which it was impossible to escape. This stupendous tuberose, queen of the meadows, is the most beautiful we have encountered in many years of work and “…its perfume, like vital beats, seems to ignite the magnetic ardor of numb love.” (Mark André Raffalovic) Warm and sunny fruits accompany this conscious vertigo of the senses supported and harmonized by a rich base of Musk combined with the gentle strength of ambergris and the warm sweetness of benzoin. fragrance in a symbolic bottle on which a marine creature clings made with the ancient goldsmith technique of granulation which, if caressed, gives a tactile pleasure to the pads of our fingers and can only be conquered by immersing in salt water. An experience of the senses that heralds the joy of a sweet abandonment to the most mysterious and powerful carnal pleasure: that of our mind. We have enclosed this wonderful fragrance in a symbolic bottle on which a marine creature clings made using the ancient goldsmith technique of granulation which, if caressed, gives a tactile pleasure to our fingertips and can only be conquered by immersing in salt water. An experience of the senses that heralds the joy of a sweet abandonment to the most mysterious and powerful carnal pleasure: that of our mind.
