Luci ed Ombre

"Luci ed Ombre is the whisper in the shadows that embroiders edges of dark and uncertain remnants of light.

In the opening, the “light” notes are characterized by ginger, so compelling, razor clean and juicy. Such a fickle note to work with, often too foodie and obvious, ginger has been nearly killed by its association with lemon in fruit teas. The scent can really be quite flu remedy sickly. Here though, Giuseppe employs ginger as a light and damp earthy citrus, its unique timbre needed to temper the white florals that open around it. Without it, the tuberose and jasmine would shriek like impatient sopranos.

In the heart, a gentle, watery tuberose

Something mysterious and odd; a ghost of incense after smoke, cold in stone, a strange sci-fi floral twist in the center and an addictive quality that is truly hard to shake once the skin and senses have tasted it."
