‘We wanted to create a fragrance that could attract good luck in every way. We have therefore created a list of ingredients according to this logic: the bitter orange is a well-known symbol of good luck, favorable omens and fertility; Marzipan has been known to be a symbol of wealth in Sicily since time immemorial; peppers, as per tradition, bring solids and we have three types. Among fruits, nothing more than the pomegranate and its grains are more auspicious in symbolism; white grapes are often present in our tables for their benign influences, while the floral blaze is inspired by the ideal propitiatory bouquet of the new bride. Ambergris, in its rarity as well as sandalwood instill prosperity. A true amulet of well-being and shield against all adversities.’ – Cristiano Canali
‘Everything can be translated into numbers, and in Naples they know how it works, but obviously they have to be the right ones, the ones with whom you hope to receive the kiss of LA Dea Bendata (= Lady Luck), also because it is said that she can’t see very well. In the 19th century, Naples became the capital of what we now know as the “Lotto Game” and to play the right numbers there was one choice and only one: turn to the Smorfia, “the book of dreams”. This book is made up of 90 numbers and is based on the belief that there is a correspondence between dreams and numbers: everything has a symbolic meaning and reality itself is a set of hidden meanings to be interpreted. Obviously, everything is closely connected to the divine and supernatural dimension, because usually saints, Mother Mary or deceased loved ones who dictate the numbers in dreams, giving a gift to those who remain on earth.’ – Jovoy
