IRIS / HONEY / INCENSE
Extrait de Parfum

Rosarium takes us to a cathedral, that of Santa Maria Assunta in Atri, in the Abruzzo region of Italy. Let’s go inside this spiritual place where marble and ancient woods recall the history of the village and a beam of light enters from the rose window. The catedral is empty, each step makes a profound echo among the Romanesque vaults. From the very first steps, a smell of frankincense (olibanum) assails us but little by little, as we approach the altar, we are surprised by hints of opulent and dusty flowers. Rosarium is an extrait de parfum that plays between the sacred (incense in the head) and the profane (the warm, dusty and sensual scent of iris).

Rosarium

€180.00

Rosarium is the latin name for church rose window, and it’s especially related to the rose window of the Cathedral of Atri, built in 1260 b.C.

Inspiration: flowers on the tabernacle.

"The Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta in Atri, Abruzzo, Italy. The rose window that witnesses everything.

Beneath it, weddings and funerals, love and death, murmurs and voices. In the square, imperfection lives, but once you cross its doors, everything changes—the spirit calms, and I inhale a clerical scent. The marble and ancient wood evoke stories, the sound of footsteps echoing through every wall. A blend of aromas surrounds me: incense and noble lilies. I hear the voices, the murmurs, and I forget the house of God; my mind dances between the perfect and the imperfect, the earthly nature of human beings and the celestial. Rosarium, in its essence, glides between the sacredness of incense and the profane floral sensuality of the iris".
-Angela Ciampagna

A SYMBOL OF ARTISTRY

The iconic sculpture cap is a tribute to the uniqueness of the artisan mindset and the handmade masterpieces. The rose window, symbol and signature of the entire collection, represents the endless dialogue between the sacred and the profane; craftsmanship and nobility; superstition and mysticism; ancient customs and modernity.

Inspired by the intricate rose window of the Basilica Concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta (or Atri Cathedral), located in the heart of Atri, Italy. This architectural masterpiece holds deep significance as the city where the brand was originally established, reflecting a perfect harmony between art, heritage, and the spirit of perfumery.
