Hortus embodies the very breath of the earth, the rhythmic beating of leaves stirred by the breeze, and the gentle whispers of roots intertwined deep within the garden’s heart.Legend has it that the Garden of Eden safeguards all the fragrances of the world, a realm where nature performs an eternal dance, suspended gracefully between myth and reality. Along its secret paths lie golden fruits whispering ancient tales, silver rivers mirroring endless skies, and flowers in countless shades whose aromas linger softly, dissolving like whispers in the air.The fragrance opens with a joyous burst of freshness, reminiscent of the first ray of sunshine filtering through branches. Sorrento Lemon and Sicilian Orange shine brilliantly, vibrant as glowing gems, accompanied by the spicy, balsamic, and almost mystical nuances of Indian Cardamom and Lake Garda Lavender.At its heart, the scent reveals a delicate interplay between Tuscan Apricot Blossom, Chinese Jasmine Grandiflora, and Japanese Cherry Blossom, woven intricately like threads in an ancient tapestry. Siam Lotus and Thai Ylang Ylang impart an enveloping sensuality, evoking petals gently unfurling after a golden rainfall.Finally, the base settles into a harmonious symphony of precious woods and velvety musks. Romagna Birchwood, Ligurian Red Elm, and Romagna Oak intertwine gracefully, evoking the deep roots of an enchanted forest. Australian Sandalwood and African Ebony enrich the composition, adding warmth and depth akin to a sunset tenderly caressing the distant horizon.Wearing Hortus means immersing oneself in a sacred, secret garden, a timeless place where nature tells ancient stories, where the breeze whispers forgotten poems and your soul is nurtured by the breath of the earth.TOP NOTES: Sorrento Lemon, Sicilian Orange, Cardamom from India, Lake Garda Lavender, Tuscan Freesia, Sicilian Osmanthus, Dolomites Fern & Italian VioletMIDDLE NOTES: Tuscan Apricot Blossom, Chinese Jasmine Grandiflora, Japanese Cherry Blossom, Thai Ylang Ylang, Siam Lotus, Italian Plum & Romagna Peach BlossomBASE NOTES: Romagna Birchwood, Liguria Red Elm, Romagna Oak, African Ebony, Australian Sandalwood, Musk & Tuscan Oakmoss
