ART 06 – ESOTICO ASSOLUTO / EXOTIC ABSOLUTE

From my beloved and dearest mother I found my passion for food and cooking.
My beloved father was a chef by profession but almost never cooked at home. My mother would not let him, saying he was not good enough to cook for us. You see how demanding and particular Italian mums are about cooking and food.
I spent many joyful hours with my mother in our cosy kitchen in Via Landi, La Serra di Lerici. I would sit at the big kitchen table, watching and learning how to prepare those delicious meals.
A typical dessert of my village, a must on 29th August, the day of the annual celebration of our patron, San Giovanni Battista Decollato, is : Torta di Riso dolce alla Ligure, a sweet rice cake Ligurian style made of rice, milk, butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla beans and lemon peel. I have always wanted to incorporate these sweet, milky, sugary, lemon-like, vanilla notes in one fragrance.

My creation “Exotic Cocktail” meant so much to me that I wanted to combine the friendships it represents with my childhood memories. By combining the same fruity accord with the sweet, milky, lemon, vanilla complex, “Absolute Chic” was born.
“Absolute Chic” is a sensual, tropical, fruity, elegant, chic, very feminine, with a gourmet feeling, a fragrance, which makes you hungry.

A modern, fruity, sensual, oriental scent which harmoniously combines the sweet, mystical, balsamic background with modern fruity top notes and is dominated by the gourmet note of vanilla beans. The bouquet is very feminine and elegant, supported mainly by white flowers, jasmine, orange blossom, tuberose, gardenia and narcissus. The body is very rich and sophisticated, captured all around by the gorgeous smell of vanilla beans and supported by a very precious musky accord.
Art 06 Esotico Assoluto was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Arturetto Landi.
