Early Morning, October, 1175, Calabria, Italy"The cool night air dissipates under the sun's first rays. The ripe citrus in the field has absorbed all the water of the morning dew and the farmers are ready to work on the misty green fields, speckled by the bright yellow of the citron. They leave their woody cabin and take a deep breath..."

A Signature Fragrance
Citron
Citron, sourced from the thick-skinned fruit of the Citrus medica tree, offers a vibrant, almost bracing freshness. Its scent is more intense and less sweet than its citrus cousins, with notes that can range from lemony sharpness to a subtle bitterness. This robust character makes citron a favored ingredient for perfumers seeking to add an invigorating layer of brightness.
Myrtle
Myrtle, a shrub native to the Mediterranean, exudes a fresh, herbal aroma with hints of pine and citrus. Its leaves are distilled into an oil rich in terpenes, lending compositions a green, aromatic character that is both grounding and uplifting.
Bergamot
Harvested from the bergamot orange tree native to southern Italy, this note opens with a burst of green and citrusy zest, quickly revealing an underlying floral nuance that softens its brightness. Its scent is both invigorating and comforting, reminiscent of sun-drenched mornings in Calabria.
