The conflict between the creator (Antonio) and Tuberose, disturbing and pleasant at the same time.

Maai means 'the perfect distance and time' between two opponents in the Japanse martial arts 'Kendo'. It's the moment each of them can strike and win, but they can also wait forever. It's a suspended moment, somewhere 'in between'. It's the 'engagement distance'.

MAAI is probably the most sophisticated Chypre. It's vintage glamour with an animalic edge.
