Michelangelo Buonarroti lived to be almost 90, an extraordinary age for that era. In his very long life he completed works of great genius and beauty such as the Sistine ceiling, the Last Judgement, David, works which are famous throughout the world. There is a distinctive characteristic of Michelangelo that provided us with the inspiration to devote a fragrance to him. , like a seer, he imagined and foresaw things before sculpting them, his work hidden in the blocks of inert stone. He could already see the stone transformed into a quivering muscle, into a tendon ready to launch an overwhelming emotion, as if to push to the extreme his calling of awakening minds, to bring alive the desire to contemplate, to observe what escapes most, beyond that which does not appear. An olfactory journey that begins in this artist’s land of origin, Arezzo’s land, rich in beeches, chestnut trees, cypress trees, berries and figs in their most infinite variety. The heart of the fragrance is the Fig, masterfully introduced by yellow touches of Grapefruit joined with the tasty wild Cassis. A touch of Magnolia, gives the fragrance an ambivalent soul, sealing the duality of the fig tree, in a delicate balance between the feminine and the masculine to bring out the message that Art, as pure expression of the soul, is one and unique. A spiral of incense, hidden in the designs of the marble, is revealed in the heart to express the sense of deep spirituality that had pervaded the atmospheres in which Michelangelo worked. Hyacinth and Galbanum are finishes and carvings of the work: to render it immortal, through the recovery of the ancient memory hidden in the depths of our mind, we have polished and protected it with notes of earthy Cipriolo, woody notes of Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver and Labdanum.
