Quando rapita in estasi
Incense and wood meet softer lily of the valley and peach, with clove, balsam fir and sweeter balsamic textures.
Quando rapita in estasi takes inspiration from Maria Callas singing the mad scene in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor. The image of her voice at La Scala in Milan meets incense, flowers and wood in an extrait de parfum shaped by operatic emotion.
Incense, lily of the valley and cedar form the subject, with cloves and peach in the counter-subject. The tail names incense, balsam fir, labdanum, patchouli, vetiver, vanilla and tonka bean. Softer flowers and peach meet the quieter depth of wood and resin, while clove supplies a warmer spicy expression.
The composition suggests enjoying resinous depth alongside softer fruit and flowers. The 100mL rectangular glass bottle has a black wood-grained cap and an ornate silver-coloured label. Finely folded silver-black fabric drapes from above and extends to either side, its hems forming part of the bottle’s design.
