This creation was inspired by the memory of a trip to the Côte d'Azur, where Saint-Tropez is framed by the dazzling blue of the Mediterranean and the olive-covered hills. When visiting this delightful coastal town with its timeless flair, characterised by charm and freedom, Paolo and Tiziana found inspiration in the cheerful, lively character of the seaside resort.
Saint-Tropez is a fascinating throwback to the golden age of the 1960s, when the Riviera lifestyle emerged. Back then, the Italian and French Riviera were the scene of an extraordinary cultural transformation. The playboys known as Les Italiens began their triumphal march “barefoot, in jeans and with windblown hair”. This image is iconic for the challenging demeanour and the desire for freedom of the time. A young generation conquered the Riviera with boldness and a free spirit, cultivating a lifestyle that prioritized relaxation and pleasure. A blazing fire of passion burnt within them, allowing them to live every moment to the full. When the film “And God Created Woman” was released in cinemas, an unforgettable young Brigitte Bardot took the hearts of audiences around the world by storm. Torpè is a tribute to the timeless glamour that made Saint-Tropez a coveted destination for the international jet set at the time. The “rebellious” trendsetters of the 1960s also called the seaside resort Torpè. This lively fragrance creation with its fresh sea notes is reminiscent of unforgettable balmy summer evenings, filled with laughter and light-heartedness. Every note is dedicated to the sea and its magic, and the fragrance is a sensory journey to one of the most fascinating places in the world. Whoever wears the perfume will close their eyes and feel transported to the cobbled streets of Saint-Tropez, will perceive the laughter of children playing, the salty smell in the air and the warming rays of sunshine on their skin.
The fragrance opens with a fresh bouquet of citrus notes - bergamot from Reggio Calabria, lemon from Sorrento and Sicilian mandarin — accompanied by maritime notes that add depth to the perfume. The true essence of this creation lies in the heart notes: Here, gently flattering Bulgarian rose, lavender from the Côte d’Azur, French iris and violet from Provence are initially perceptible, interwoven with delicately elegant peony from Saint-Tropez, sweet Sicilian orange and juicy peach from Romagna. The entire composition rests on a solid foundation of precious woods such as African ebony and Australian sandalwood, which combine with musk, ambergris, Indian patchouli and Tuscan oakmoss to form an enveloping, sensual base. Whoever wears the perfume is enveloped by it as if by a lingering, intimate embrace. Torpè captures the lively, luxuriant quintessence of the Mediterranean coasts. Its accords describe the symphony of turquoise blue sea and sunny olive groves and ensure an unforgettable fragrance experience.
