In the individual classification of poisons, this extremely potent potion inevitably plays the role of a prince. This poison is considered one of the most notorious deadly concentrates ever known, which is also capable of covering its tracks. Thanks to its intense colour, it is also beautiful to look at, which is reflected in the etymology of its name, which means ‘antique’ or ‘ornament’ in Persian.
Lucrezia, with her skill in making deadly and intoxicating potions, often used it to shape reality as she wished and control the minds of her victims.
The irresistible strategist never parted with it and kept it in her extremely precious gold ring with a secret compartment, which had been specially made by master jewellers so that she always had the deadly potion at hand.
Lucrezia's skill in handling arsenic and the reputation that preceded this extremely powerful poison later inspired famous tragedies such as Romeo and Juliet and Madame Bovary.
The stylistic inspiration for this work can be traced directly back to the deadly beauty of arsenic and the magical ring in which Lucrezia liked to keep it. Just like a loyal friend always by your side and like a terrible weapon always ready to serve in defence or attack, conquering or seducing in the subtle silence of the ether and completely silently.
When you think about it, how similar it is to perfume and the effect it has on those who wear it...
The creation begins with a graceful bouquet of citrus fruits, with Calabrian bergamot exuding the top note, then calming into sweeter notes of red fruits such as currant, apple and opulent pineapple. After this sensual and subtle overture, you are overwhelmed by an explosion of precious woods, some of which are very rare, such as red patchouli and cedar from Lebanon, balanced by the extremely delicate birch and tonka bean and united by an embrace of jasmine and benzoin with a counterpoint of artemisia. This fragrance, with its incredible and intense effect, is extremely long-lasting, drawing its real power from amber mixed with antique musk and precious moss scents.
The weapon of deadly seduction – enclosed in a drop of perfume.
