‘It is night, it is dark and our mind wanders among wandering thoughts. Darkness tells of the moments in which we search for a light within ourselves. Darkness is a place, in which we live our feelings. Darkness is the time of insomnia, in which giant monsters will reveal themselves to be small beings in the light of day. Darkness is a hope, mine, to let the darkness abandon me. It is night, it is dark, as far as I can see. There were days in which my thoughts were everywhere, slowly rotating in my head and then letting themselves be stolen by time and falling prisoner of events. The first accord born in this perfume was between Cade oil, Carrot seeds, a smoky Incense, Cashmeran and Suederal. There was born the courage to change the course of my thoughts, their existence, my life. In those days, in which this perfume was born, I read books on Shintoism and listened to Nils Frahm. I weighed every raw material as if they were necessary and fundamental words, like when you look for the right words to tell someone something important about your life; it was my story, my path, in the dark. Smoky and dusty notes open the life of this fragrance, an incense that contains centuries of stories, deep, mysterious and intimate, the powder of Carrot seeds and the dark note of Cade. A dark heart, where the darkest part of Osmanthus and Peony find refuge among the notes of Geranium and Magnolia, protected by Labdanum absolute and Amber notes. The base on which this story I told you rests, is built on the notes of Vetiver, Patchouli, Cedarwood and Sandalwood, Musk and Leather.’ – Neos1911
