Ingenium - Eau de Parfum - Onyrico

Spicy, floral, woody. A contrasting woody nuance of damask rose, gardenia, and masculine tobacco emerges from an equally elusive and seemingly discordant opening. Aromatic saffron and bright bergamot gain intensity from spicy notes of nutmeg. Leonardo da Vinci’s genius and works remain a fascinating mystery to this day. His inexhaustible intellectual curiosity, the talents he demonstrated in every field of art and knowledge, and the symbolic messages scattered throughout his masterpieces and manuscripts offer only a sketch of the extraordinary personality of this remarkable master. Painter, engineer, scientist, sculptor, architect, and scholar of botany and anatomy, Leonardo is, in the eyes of the world, “the genius among geniuses,” the supreme explorer of the secrets of the universe. Ingenium is dedicated to his unquenchable thirst for knowledge, his exceptional ability to convey through art the cosmic spirit that dwells in every aspect of nature, and the sublime painter who yearned to reach the highest spiritual heights. It is a fragrance with many layers of meaning. A contrasting woody nuance of damask rose, gardenia, and masculine tobacco emerges from an equally elusive and seemingly discordant opening. Aromatic saffron and bright bergamot gain intensity from spicy notes of nutmeg. The base emerges, evocative and mysterious. Precious woods, once burned as incense in ancient rituals and sacred places, exude scents of rare evocative depth. These are Java vetiver, with its unmistakable fougère character, a symbol of enduring freshness; aromatic, floral guaiac wood, also known as “Lignum Vitae,” a noble symbol of longevity; and intense, enveloping sandalwood, with its vibrant, meditative notes. The composition is sealed with the magical alchemy of amber. The marble sealing the bottle is Perlato di Sicilia. Its distinctive veins and dominant colors recall Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings. The fragrance is a Special Edition in Extrait de Parfum 29%. Perfumer: Luca Maffei.
