Verde Erba I
Inspired by dawn in Sant'Elena, the first part of Venice to catch the sun: a tangy seringa accord moves to dry papyrus and soft vanilla.
Sant'Elena sits at the eastern tip of Venice and is the first neighborhood to catch the morning sun. Verde Erba I starts from that dawn, and its name comes from a green pigment used by Murano glassmakers.
It opens on a seringa accord, the bright white flower of mock orange, with a tangy, citrus-like edge. Papyrus at the heart brings a dry, earthy texture that steadies the brightness, and vanilla in the base rounds everything off with a soft sweetness.
The story behind it is of a woman who wakes to see the early light on the lagoon and enjoys her freedom. The scent keeps that lightness: green, floral and even, never heavy.
