‘The Assoluto collection is growing, thanks to an extraordinary essence: Leonis I, named after a distant star that rises from the constellation of Leo. Rooted in the strength and elegance of the Leo creation, this precious composition boldly breaks new ground to create an original and inimitable fragrance. The unique notes of this precious creation are the result of an endless quest for quality, rare ingredients that come together to create a magical symphony of notes that even the most sophisticated minds find difficult to imagine. The harmonic tension of Leonis I captures the most extreme imagination, like a light yet biting breeze that boldly caresses the skin on starry nights. Leonis I evokes the magic of the universe, offering up a precious, sparkling experience, like the jewel of a bottle containing it, enchanting the eyes and enveloping the soul. This creation embodies an ancient alchemy centred on three precious elements that have marked the entire history of mankind on the path of incense, from the Roman Empire to the present day. A stylish journey to discover precious Frankincense and Myrrh, considered more important than gold, combined with regal Oudh. The fragrance opens with energetic, fresh top notes, a lively symphony of citrus notes wafts through thanks to orange which blends with the exotic notes of Sicilian Saffron and the warmth of Davana, spiced with the pungent counterpoint of Black Pepper. This balancing act of fresh and energising notes settles onto the very deep and complex heart of the fragrance, where Granada Nutmeg warmly envelops Cedarwood. The regal vigour of Jordanian Myrrh emphasises the mystical strength of Omani Incense and Indian Cypriol, and a deep floral touch is added by Indian Jasmine, enveloped in the charm of Cambodian Oudh. The entire creation is built around a base of Australian Sandalwood, which blends persuasively with magical Ambergris, both enveloped in the extreme sweetness of Madagascan Vanilla and the warmth of Benzoin. A gift of great value for true connoisseurs of the fragrance universe, because only those who can fully grasp the unique nature of the absolute can truly appreciate it.‘ – Tiziana Terenzi
