On a cool summer evening, a ship from the distant lands of the Persian Gulf moored in the port of Venice of the past centuries. All the Venetian merchants are there. And it is not for nothing that the precious scents emanating from the ship fill the port wine: it is filled with rare and exclusive oriental scents, for which perfumers from all over Europe compete.
Among all these olfactory treasures, the scent of orange blossom stands out: sunny, small sweet and powdery white flowers very well convey the Mediterranean cheerfulness of the Venetians.
The penetrating aroma of bergamot, which will soon be called the gold of Calabria, is also carefully protected in the holds of the ship. Once applied, it will give the vanilla alcantara an invigorating, airy and sunny side.
Traveling from the Persian Gulf to Venice is an exciting journey. We meet magnificent sea creatures that hide an unexpected olfactory treasure: the ambergris from which ambroxan comes. Its aroma, both woody and amber, is subtle and makes Alcantara vanilla highly addictive.
The distant Persian lands are full of forests, and several ships bring white sandalwood from India to Venice. This boat is one of them. Warm and sensual, it gives the fragrance its characteristic tenderness.
But another tropical olfactory treasure, vanilla, underscores the gourmand personality of this unique fragrance. Praline, it gives a refined, sweet aroma.
The perfect balance, reminiscent of the scents of past research.
