“Where there is hatred, let me bring love”
Francis had a dream: bringing peace, brotherhood and love to all the peoples
of the Earth. Tau is the name of the humble cross of wood that he
carried with him, the symbol of these universal values that he succeeded in
spreading throughout the world. The kindness of his words, and his actions
comforted by the certainty of not being alone, radiated light wherever he
went. His word was a ray of sunshine sufficient to bring light where there
were millions of shadows. He succeeded where even today the great on
earth have failed; during a voyage to the East he earned the respect and
admiration of the Sultan Ayubida al Malik, who offered him many riches.

A great example from which to draw inspiration: dialogue, courtesy, respect
for all diversity, united by a single goal, … Love conquers all… But the mystic of
Assisi especially loved being in the middle of nature, in its woods, contemplating
its wonders. Tau is a fresh yet ancient perfume, and almost primordial in its
playful imprint, influenced by the call of th e woods and the animals that inhabit
them. In creating it, we imagined Francis sitting on the bank of a stream, “his
Sister Water”, flows transparent and pure, stumbling on its way through the
rocks smoothed by his creative force. While a bird perches on his shoulder,
a Juniper bush embraces a sage plant, revealing all the beauty of creation.

Breathing in the very essence of what he contemplated, Francis wrote his
wonderful work: “ The Canticle of the Sun “. The essence of the plants bring
with them ancient memories, along with the same pines, the same beeches,
the same stones, the sun, the moon and the stars, all of which he observed,
contemplated, and praised. Through the undying wind, through the water
that changes form but not its substance, the vibrant notes that travel on the
subtle thread of perfume have been handed down to us… Finally, in a forest
of birches, surrounded by geranium leaves that emerge from the damp
earth, we imagine Francis climbing onto their moss-covered and perilous
trunks, with his humble leather sandals, to restore a fallen bird to its nest… a
happy and grateful bird… Tau was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Maurizio Cerizza.
