One of the most fascinating cities in the Bel Paese (Italy) is the extraordinary Florence, rich in history, traditions and beauty, expressing strewn through the city’s alleys and its breathtaking monuments. Every single stone and brick of the historic buildings exudes history and legend, captivating the visitor from the very first moment.

On a magical September night, Paolo and Tiziana are in Florence for a trip with the whole family and grandparents to discover this enchanting Renaissance city! Florence is a magical city, capable of immediately enveloping and captivating you in a whirlwind of emotions and contradictions. The sense of beauty is uniquely and absolutely inherent to this place, and no other city in the world can rival it for the pulsating beauty of its history, which envelops visitors like a precious cloak!

During their evening strolls, Paolo and Tiziana, hand in hand with their beloved grandfather Guglielmo, are enraptured by the unique beauty of the immeasurable works of art, enriched with wonders whose power is beyond words, such as the perfection of Michelangelo’s David, Brunelleschi’s dome, or Giotto’s bell tower!

 Climbing the long, arduous staircase of over 400 steps to this tower that overlooks the entire city, like the most evocative terrace of the Italian Renaissance, Paolo and Tiziana gaze upon the beauties of Florence. Their childlike eyes are lost in wonder and amazement, while Grandfather wisely recounts the stories behind the artists who made Florence unique. Suddenly, in a cobalt blue sky illuminated by brilliant stars, an immense Red Moon rises, coloring the celestial vault with its fiery pallor. The air fills with intense aromas, magical scents accentuated by the palaces of the city of the Purple Lily, which envelop Paolo and Tiziana like a warm cloak. In the distance, on the banks of the Arno River, tall bonfires burn beneath the Ponte Vecchio, while the echoes of this essence reverberate from the Tuscan leather tanneries. Suddenly, the two children are intoxicated by the unforgettable essence of the Florentine Spirit, now enclosed in this precious red vial, like the magical Moon, capable of activating beneficial spells and bestowing good fortune on those who admire and understand it.

This creation, like the Florentine Spirit, requires time and expert noses to be understood, because just like Florence, not everyone can discover it, and only a select few will be able to fully savor its beauty. The essence opens with a graceful bouquet of flowers featuring the Purple Lily (symbol of Florence) and Jasmine, embraced by the power of Italian Saffron and the freshness of oranges. The rich and precious, yet extremely refined and gentle, opening notes settle on a very intense and precious heart, capable of making this dreamlike journey unforgettable. Thus emerges the elegance of Ylang Ylang combined with the refined seduction of Magnolia.Both are enhanced by the rare and aphrodisiac Ambergris embraced by the ethereal sweetness of White Lily of the Valley.

The entire creation is based on a base of precious and unique woods, in keeping with the finest Tuscan tradition, where, alongside prized Sandalwood, Birch, and Musk from the Terenzi Library, we find the impregnating power of Tuscan Leather, embraced by Oakmoss from the Apennines of these enchanting places. This precious ampoule, red as passion, encapsulates the thrilling emotion that only Florence, in its eternal beauty, can bestow.

This creation jealously enshrines the Florentine Spirit, which will fully reveal itself to only the chosen and privileged few who have the courage to fully understand it.
