Mare Nostrum is the historical name of the Mediterranean, which Lorenzo Villoresi has always loved for its wealth of cultural, historical, mystical and scenic inspirations. Such a variety of different images and precious impressions can hardly be conveyed in a single fragrance.
This is why the first fragrance in the ‘Mare Nostrum’ collection, ‘Aura Maris’, the aura of the sea, is presented here. This fresh and soft fragrance will be followed by other creations inspired by the multitude of ideas and images that Villoresi draws from the Mare Nostrum, the Mediterranean Sea.
Mare Nostrum
Filled with lovely currents, the tender caress of a gentle breeze and countless, ever-changing scents; carried away by roaring winds that billow the sails of the Argonauts - in search of unknown worlds.
Sometimes vague and unpredictable, constantly changing spheres inhabited by enchanting beings - supernatural phenomena, fascinating and enchanting. Sometimes the splendid underwater realm of enchanting creatures, the calm, gentle, well-meaning friend.
A vast, generous sea, the setting for fascinating visions that no words can do justice to. Threat and salvation for humans and heroes alike.
On the shores of the oceans, on the threshold of paradisiacal worlds, on the border between dream and reality - there lie the islands of the blessed.
Heavenly realms to which only the gods have access. The beautiful Garden of the Hesperides and the magnificent Atlantis. A paradise full of immeasurable wealth and magnificent cities.
There on the foaming waves rides Poseidon in his triumphal chariot - pulled by horses with bronze hooves and golden manes. When he emerges, all the storms subside.
The realm of the Nereids is hidden in the depths of the ocean. They rest on golden thrones in their father's garden and play gracefully in the waves; their long curly hair dances on the foaming waves, playing with Triton and the dolphins as they spin, writhe and sing the day away.
There, sea nymphs with smiles like blossoming flowers meet the naiads who watch over springs and estuaries. To the sound of the salty spray, their laughter resounds from the waves and the mesmerising song of the gods from the sea.
Aura Maris
A sea breeze gently caresses the ocean waves. Fresh and delicate here, calming and caressing there, it proclaims the good news of the summer sun.
With the countless nuances of the aromas of Mediterranean shrubs, of maritime pines that lean over the sea, bent by the wind, of the scent of herbs and wild spices. The tingling scent of salty foam, the sunlit image of citrus fruits, the gentle touch of meadow flowers and the golden rays of the sun on the glittering sea.
