FARAH 🦇
INSPIRATION
My taste for the oriental culture inspired me in this scorching perfume whereby instinct cohabits with refinement. Haram forbids temptation. I wanted to give it as an accessory to the woman who is not afraid to liberate the erotic side of herself.
CREATION
Patchouly from Indonesia asserts itself through the rarefied use of Cinnamon from Ceylon in a feminine composition. A date accord, a combination of balms (benjoin, ciste-labdanum) and tonka beans for addiction magnifies its femininity and transports us to a far away place that fascinates the collective, unconscious male population.

You walk through woods wet with spray and alive. Your fingertips, the tendrils of a fern, reach into the deep foliage, dissolve into the infinite. Why do you travel to where the sun shakes your hand? What good is devotion if it cannot combine body, land, sea, sky into equal parts loneliness and love? Lie down and rest here. And be made whole. 🕌
NOTES
Top~ juniper, lentisque (mastic), black pepper, sea salt
Mid~ clary sage absolute, orris root, olibanum resin, solar accord
Dry~ ambergris, vetiver, mineral musks, wet woods, Ambrox, sea moss

“There are no shipping routes to follow in the search for Ambergris, only the trails of the great cetaceans through the ocean depths. The sperm whale expels it from its huge abdomen, entrusting it to the waves, where it can remain for years. Finding it on an African or Australian beach is an increasingly rare occurrence. The olfactory experience - they say - is indescribable.” 🗺🪬
Fairy-tales aside, it is actually a dark, waxy material that forms in the intestines of the sperm whale; it floats away, bakes in the sun and one day washes up on beaches, where it is collected.
Could there be anything rarer? Endowed with an exceptionally persistent, intense, sensual perfume, Ambergris has inevitably been associated with the erotic sphere.
In many countries throughout the East it was eaten as an aphrodisiac. The master perfumers of Venice used it widely in the 1700s, and Giacomo Casanova relied on it for his many exploits. The finest Ambergris is known as “flottée”, since it dries out naturally after floating at length on the sea; once mature, it develops a fragrance too complex even for the rich vocabulary of essences.
In our creation we have highlighted the aphrodisiac properties of natural Ambergris, pairing it with Rose Absolute, Vanilla Absolute and Musk. Its attraction is exuded in a long, seductive trail.
NOTES
Head: Fresh
Heart: Geranium, Iris, Clove, Rose, Ambregris
Base: Labdanum, Benzoin, Vanilla, Musk

“Our journey to the origin of Mediterranean perfumes takes us back to where everything began. To Magna Graecia and its art, philosophy, techniques…. And perfumes. Diamante, a small town with a great past. The Citrus Medica or Diamante Citron grows only here, the result of a mutation. One of the many miracles that have occurred in this stretch of the Calabrian coast caressed by Tyrrhenian breezes.” 💎
It is the Perfect Tree, whose fruit - rich in flavour as well as perfume - symbolises the excellence of the chosen people in Jewish tradition. Rabbis come to this short stretch of the Calabrian coast to choose the finest citrons, an essential part of celebrations for Sukkot, the main Jewish holiday.
So the Diamante Citron was a must for our celebration of Mediterranean Italy, a crossroads for many different traditions. We handled it with care, as befitting a fruit that is much more than a simple ingredient. At its core lie memories, faces, merchant ships, interwoven languages. A myriad of stories which the sweet notes of the Citron retell with a modern touch: the spicy heart and soft, musky base.
NOTES
Head: Cedar Capua, Lime, Lemon, Verbena CO2
Heart: Baies Rose CO2, Ginger Fresh, Cardamom, Sichuan Pepper
Base: Iris, Oakmoss, Musk
