Description

Michelangelo Buonarroti lived to be almost 90, an extraordinary age for that
era. In his very long life he completed works of great genius and beauty such
as the Sistine ceiling, the Last Judgement, David, works which are famous
throughout the world.
There is a distinctive characteristic of Michelangelo that provided us with
the inspiration to devote a fragrance to him. , like a seer, he imagined and
foresaw things before sculpting them, his work hidden in the blocks of inert
stone. He could already see the stone transformed into a quivering muscle,
into a tendon ready to launch an overwhelming emotion, as if to push to the
extreme his calling of awakening minds, to bring alive the desire to contemplate,
to observe what escapes most, beyond that which does not appear.

An olfactory journey that begins in this artist’s land of origin, Arezzo’s land,
rich in beeches, chestnut trees, cypress trees, berries and figs in their most
infinite variety.

The heart of the fragrance is the Fig, masterfully introduced by yellow touches
of Grapefruit joined with the tasty wild Cassis.

A touch of Magnolia, gives the fragrance an ambivalent soul, sealing the
duality of the fig tree, in a delicate balance between the feminine and the
masculine to bring out the message that Art, as pure expression of the soul,
is one and unique.

A spiral of incense, hidden in the designs of the marble, is revealed in the
heart to express the sense of deep spirituality that had pervaded the atmospheres
in which Michelangelo worked.
Hyacinth and Galbanum are finishes and carvings of the work: to render
it immortal, through the recovery of the ancient memory hidden in the depths
of our mind, we have polished and protected it with notes of earthy Cipriolo,
woody notes of Cedar, Patchouli, Vetiver and Labdanum. Michelangelo was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Maurizio Cerizza.
