Aura – Eau de Parfum

Description

An echo of old-fashioned freedom, where the citrusy freshness of the journey surrenders to the gentle, flowery caress of meadows and a rediscovered stillness.

In ancient Bologna, boats laden with fine fabrics departed daily from the workshops and through the canals. They headed for distant ports to spread the excellence of Bolognese manufactures around the world. On their return, against the raging current, the boatmen entrusted their boats to the power of horses that, with tense muscles, dragged the boats along the towpaths. After hours and hours of walking and hard work, the noble animals would land in lush meadows just outside the city. There, they would rest, and the air was pure, infused with fresh, natural scents. It is here that a fragrance is revealed, the sigh of the earth released in the wind, the essence of that perfect freedom.

Aura opens with a citrus freshness that surprises the senses: bergamot intertwines with notes of lemon, evoking the crystalline freshness of water and air.

The floral heart of the fragrance is delicately expressed with notes of neroli, dancing with iris. A hint of green notes recalls fresh meadow grass.

In the base, the fragrance reveals subtle notes of musk and benzoin, reminiscent of the earthy freshness of fields after rain. A veil of amber envelops the composition, as persistent as the memory of those glorious days.

Aura is a tribute to the pure freedom of nature. A fragrance that captures the essence of pristine meadows where time is suspended between the fatigue of travel and the sweet abandonment to rest.

The perfumer’s words – Félix Deschamps

“Aura is a luminous, fresh fragrance inspired by Monet's “Déjeuner sur l'herbe”. Top notes of sparkling bergamot zest mingles with vibrant green notes, evoke the fresh scent of freshly cut grass under a gentle sun. In the heart, soft floral notes harmonize to enhance the composition's natural elegance. The base, enriched with airy musks, creates a pure, tranquil trail, reminiscent of a spring breeze. “

Olfactory description

Head

The top notes open with a lively and luminous citrus freshness. Bergamot and lemon intertwine in a crystalline accord that creates a radiant and revitalising opening. Jasmine adds a velvety floral touch that softens the citrus, while carrot introduces a sweet, earthy, slightly fruity nuance that enriches the complexity of the opening with a reminder of unspoilt nature.

Heart

A harmonious, verdant bouquet blossoms in the heart of the fragrance. Neroli diffuses its floral elegance with a green-citrus aroma, creating a sophisticated and refined center. Green notes amplify this feeling of wild nature, offering a breath of fresh grass and vitality. Iris adds a sophisticated nuance, creating an olfactory bridge between the floral and earthy worlds, while ambery woods begin to reveal a warm, enveloping depth that will develop fully in the base.

Base

The base of the fragrance anchors itself on persistent and sensual notes. White musks give a sensation of clean softness. Ambroxan envelops the composition in a modern, long-lasting aura, while benzoin offers a balsamic and resinous sweetness that provides comfort and warmth. Amber closes the composition with its warm sensuality, leaving a lingering trail on the skin that tells of freedom.
