NEROLI / JASMINE / CEDARWOOD
Extrait de Parfum

A eulogy to the constant pursuit of the "right middle," the balance we are called to seek always, at every stage of life, between strength (Vis) and levity (Levis). Virtus smells like what's left in a precious 1950s bottle, one of those diva perfumes that are no longer made. A tribute to a strong woman, capable of carrying with courage and awareness all the experience of a lifetime.

Virtus is an important and retro unisex fragrance.

Dedicated to those who have self-esteem, or those who are working to fully attain it, Virtus is an overdose of neroli, a precious wind of Sambac jasmine and the very elegant interplay between tonka bean, pink pepper and fig. The base is aromatic with dusty woody veins. A numbered parfum with classic, timeless elegance for those who want to enhance their 1950s diva side.

Virtus

€420.00

Virtus is the final act of the Virtus Collection. The weight of expectation becomes light, a mild spring wind that warms the soul, like the last hug of a mother. Light notes and exhalations that come from a late Italian Renaissance garden to draw a parfum of classic and timeless elegance. Virtus is a praise of unstable balance and the constant search for the right medium between strength (Vis) and levity (Levis).

INSPIRATION: in media stat virtus (virtue lies in the middle).

"Virtus, a Latin word for virtue, is a fragrance that evokes a sea of emotions. It embarks on a journey from the chains that imprison, that keep the spirit captive, that force the will, to the release and the virtue of letting go.

The death of birth, the attachment to being, and the call of nature. The body and soul separate, taking their own paths, the chains break, the spirit is freed, and peace is found. The heart of Virtus reveals that the energy we carry is borrowed, and one day we must return it.

This perfume evokes everything we long for, changing like a river that brings new water each day.

The fragrance offers notes such as bergamot and sambac jasmine, gliding through pine, amber, and cedarwood. A complex and transient olfactory journey that transforms into something new—this is where the virtue of flow resides".

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.
