The Enchantment: a fragrance from an ethereal space, inhabited by grace and romance

The Inspiration

OMBRA explores the darkness of a modern ‘sleeping beauty’. In the thickness of the dark woods around Lake Como, there is an opening that gives access to a meadow beaming with an ethereal glow. A magic light pierces through the tall trees and intricate thorns and reveals OMBRA. A dream inhabited by a beautiful princess under the spell of stillness, in an enchanted space blessed by patience and romance. The fragrance enacts the moment when the deep sleep ends and the woken heart beats ethereally.

Still-Life Composition

The heart of the scent is a berry arrangement that reflects the intense light of a dark environment. After the fugitive twinkle of saffron and patchouli, shiny red fruits and spicy rose take center stage and all the eye attention. Yet darkness looms over the composition as the woods grow stronger and come closer until they invade the enchanted space in a deep romantic embrace.
