Title
II – IV KINTSUGI
Kintsugi, a poetic Japanese term meaning 'golden joinery,' encapsulates the art of repairing broken pottery with Urushi lacquer and precious metal powders, transforming flaws into gleaming beauty. This fragrance, a creation of nose Vanina Muracciole, embraces this metaphor, reimagining the traditional Chypre with a contemporary twist.

Replacing oak moss, a salty, savory amber accord mimics the fine-grain shimmer of unglazed porcelain. Crisp magnolia blossoms transition to a gently sensual heart, featuring a golden suede accord, a blend of sweet leather, rose centifolia from Grasse, and violet leaves. Holding this composition together is Patchouli Coeur, a potent glue derived through fractional distillation, emphasizing the refined elegance of pure, gentle patchouli.

Kintsugi reacts against our disposable culture, where broken objects are discarded rather than repaired. Alessandro and Riccardo resurrect the old Chypre formula, often deemed 'broken,' filling its cracks with gold. The fragrance challenges the obsession with perfection, embracing imperfections as an intriguing proposition. In Kintsugi, they craft a metaphor for modern, truly artistic perfumery—perfectly imperfect, resonating with the ethos of beauty in resilience."
