After intensive aesthetic and olfactory research, Moresque have produced a masterpiece that combines Italian style with centuries old perfume tradition. The oriental atmosphere that has made Moresque a world famous brand, now presents a bouquet of precious notes and a fragrant description of the coastal village of Portofino: a tribute to the lovely Italian village which is one of the eight wonders of the world.
Wonderment is indeed one of the themes that served as inspiration for the perfume "Fiore di Portofino" ("Flower of Portofino") which is part of the ART Collection. The master perfumers from Moresque wanted to invoke the feeling of excitement and surprise, which only the enchanting village of Portofino can inspire. The perfumers used typical flowers and fruits from the area that let us float between film-like dreams and reality. With closed eyes we perceive the salty smell of the sea and the vibrant beauty of the landscape, which blossoms perpetually through all the seasons.
The lively and cheerful fragrance "Fiore di Portofino" is suffused with the transcendent magic of the bay: the colourful magic of its water, the glittering horizon, the glamorous personalities and VIPs who have contributed to its fame, the olfactory story of its nature that blossoms with rare beauty.
Fiore di Portofino abandons its fragrance with the slowness of a blossom that is in no hurry to flourish. It reveals itself fearlessly, almost unexpectedly, and slowly but surely unveils its warm character as if nourished by the sun's rays. When the bouquet is fully developed, its olfactory harmonies convey our soul and our imagination to the most prestigious bay in the world. Citrus notes follow neroli and join an unusual dance with basil, mimosa and iris. Undertones of amber lay on deep chords of musk and vetiver from Haiti.
The "Fiore di Portofino" flacon is a unique work of art: Each piece is made by hand, using an old Florentine, decoration technique that has been passed on from generation to generation. An ode to the colours of the sea and the sky, a tribute to celebrities such as Ava Gardner, Frank Sinatra, Brigitte Bardot, Humphrey Bogart and Liza Minelli, who loved to spend their holidays in Portofino. The golden brushstrokes on the flacon represent the many lives, stories and famous people who have met in this little earthly paradise. "Fiore di Portofino" was created as an iconic character full of fragrance, as a jewellery box full of memories and ageless beauty that looks into a wonderful future. Between water and sky, between breath and air. Where boundaries are blurred into a whole, where beauty rises into view and raises the soul of those who recognize it. Where the transparent sky plunges in crystal clear green water, and where emotions are set free like clouds being chased on the wind.
