Spice D'Arno
NEW
“Comforting and soothing spices flowing with the rhythm of the Arno river.”
SPICY WOODY GOURMAND
Spice D’Arno is a rhythmical composition which moves like the flow of the river for which it is named. Opening with the invigorating tones of bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, Spice D’Arno evokes the lively energy of a new adventure about to begin. The scent gently meanders its way into a sophisticated heart bursting with thyme and cistus, softened with a comforting and soothing bran absolute. The cistus pays homage to the tenacity of the Roman adventurers, adding a floral, sweet and woody character to the warmth of bran and the leathery savoury aspect of thyme.
In the base of Spice D’Arno a ribbon of sweetness comes in the form of excitingly resinous vanilla which is warm and embracing. This is strengthened and supported by a leathery tone. A discrete yet mighty oud facet completes the composition, lending power and weight to the fragrance and ensuring the lasting power to stay the course.

Perfumer's Notes
"The starting point for Spice D’Arno is the city of Florence, through which the Arno river flows. Particularly inspired by this city and its rich history, I wanted to work with one of its emblems, a full-grain leather, soft and velvety, which I sublimated by combining it with mystical resins and balsams like myrrh, olibanum, labdanum and gurjun. Another wink to Florence is the hint of iris, with which I added a subliminal floral facet to the fragrance. As an allegory of the Arno River, I played on the subtle balance between fresh spices like pink pepper, cardamom, and warm spices like saffron and vanilla, remnants of the treasures once transported on this eternal river. Finally, to seal the fragrance’s long lastingness, I added a touch of oud, for an elegant, powerful trail."
Inspiration
The Arno river was one of Italy’s most important waterways in Roman times. The flow of the river brought with it new ideas as well as trade, goods and movement of the population. In Spice D’Arno we celebrate the new horizons that the Romans pioneered and the trade routes they established which allowed them to move goods and ideas across the Empire. Some of the commodities the Romans transported included spices, leathers and woods, all of which can be found in this soothing composition which flows with the eternal energy of this mighty river.
