What do you picture when you read "Ice"?
Transparent, fragile, temporary.
A bit like some human emotions.

During the spring, I always visited a small spring which was hidden in the most remote woods.
For me it was a magical place.
I could always find happiness.

One winter, I was free and I had to go to that safe place, which had now become home.

Once there, in my naivety, I found myself in front of a completely frozen waterfall.

No more flow. No more rustling.
Everything was still.

The ice had taken care of Nature,
stabilizing it completely within himself,
protecting her.

I felt something in the air, a cloud, imperceptible to the naked eye.

A cold, icy cloud.
An air that could make you touch the ice, even if it was far away.

Inside various mosses, various algae, mineral residues.

It was incredible how something so still, immobile,
could change my perception of everything around me.

It was temporary, nature's movement would soon return.
The rustling sound I loved so much.

The lungs at that moment were open, the mind was open.

I could hear myself. I could breathe.

STOPPED.
NOW.
ICE.

Ghiaccio is an indirect and lucid fragrance. It opens with a balsamic and concretely icy explosion. Gradually, the heart of the fragrance arrives, a humus of Nordic moss and lichen that lends a very delicate and mystical mineral and seaweed aspect, creating the perfect olfactory interplay between Ice/Moss/Earth. This note is the primary essence of the creation, around which GHIACCIO develops.

For this fragrance, a wide variety of citrus fruits and aromatic plants were used, combined with notes of Boswellia Carteri Incense and Laotian Styrax absolute.
