Pompeii red is a wonderful color. The perfume sounds just as warm and vibrant. Ah yes, the beautiful sides of Italy - unfortunately, the ugly ones are dominating at the moment...

The thing about being 'superficial' is also related to how we view perfume... You wouldn't consider a collector of paintings to be superficial either. But it's really a complex question...

That's true! I sometimes wonder if a passion for fragrances (since it carries a certain superficiality) can really be compatible with one's inner compass, even under unquestionable conditions... So far, it seems to be working...

Thank you :) The rose doesn't overpower, it stays subtle but still present.

I perceive the perfume as a floral-woody composition with fresh, juicy mandarin, balsamic herbal notes of galbanum, and bitter almond. The luxurious touch of Damask rose combines jasmine and heliotrope, further developing the almond theme, but in floral form. Earthy patchouli with a mossy note and warm amber give this extraordinary composition depth and allure. In the base, there's a long, enveloping veil of sweet resins and woods. The longevity and sillage are excellent.
The scent is inspired by the colors used in the frescoes of Pompeii. Pompeian red is a type of "red ochre." In the ancient city at the foot of Vesuvius, as well as in other cities of ancient Rome, there are various examples of wall paintings that use this inorganic pigment.
