‘One must have chaos within oneself to give birth to a dancing star,’ Nietzsche once wrote – the inspiration for Drago Nero.
The dragon – a legendary, mythological creature that is regarded in Asia as a symbol of chaos and origin, strength, wisdom and happiness. Drago Nero is a tribute to vetiver grass, which is also native to Asia and has been cultivated for centuries as a useful plant. It also plays an important role as a remedy and ingredient in perfume production.
It is said to have a calming effect and to promote clarity, which is why it is referred to as the ‘oil of serenity’ in ancient Hindu scriptures. Unique and special, Drago Nero honours the soul of vetiver and expresses it with exceptional varieties from Haiti and Java.
The eau de parfum is lively and captivating in the top notes, which combine the citrus tartness of bergamot and the ripe juiciness of Calabrian mandarins with the exotic sweetness of pineapple and silky magnolia blossoms. Carnation blossoms and bourbon pepper are the first harbingers of the passionate heart of the fragrance, which is characterised by a breathtaking bouquet of graceful orange blossoms, magnificent roses, majestic velvety iris and earthy powdery violet. Exquisite varieties of vetiver add freshness and tartness, their grassy-salty and equally creamy nature accompanied by balsamic guaiac wood and the warmth of precious ambergris. Arnica, oakwood and sandalwood round off the creation perfectly, creating a harmonious and long-lasting finish.
