About the Fragrance:

“The violet in spring represents the blossoming of the soul”

"Viole Nere was born from my desire to tell the story of my love for the garden, as a physical and spiritual place, as a mirror of my consciousness. I did this by interpreting the famous Violet, a flower that is austere and delicate, yet has a strong character. My Violet tells of March mornings, when the earth is still damp and cold, wet from late winter and the first lights of spring illuminate the meadow. Violets grow and perfume the days, a ritual that is repeated year after year." - Meo Fusciuni

The sparkling note of Cassis tells of the freshness of those mornings, the accord of Vetiver, Patchouli and Frankincense takes us back to the earth, to our roots. The accords of Violet, Iris and floral accord are the emotion, the light, the elegance. A contemporary classic, a 1920s Violet but of the new century.

Viole Nere was thought, created and arranged, while listening to the album The Angel and the Dark River by My Dying Bride and reading the words of Mariangela Gualtieri during each of these stages.
