An olfactory journey that unfolds in layers

Foresta Magica is not just a fragrance: it is a sensorial experience that recreates the splendor of an enchanted forest. Its sparkling opening welcomes us with a symphony of ripe citrus fruits—lime, bergamot, lemon, and pink grapefruit—intertwined with the spicy energy of ginger and the vivacity of pink peppercorn. That first fresh and effervescent impression is like the crystalline glow of a sunrise in the midst of nature.

The heart of the composition reveals a green and aromatic landscape, where rosemary and verbena evoke memories of childhood and walks through sun-drenched fields. Magnolia, jasmine, lavender, and gardenia provide a delicate floral touch that softens the herbal intensity, maintaining a balance between freshness and lightness.

Finally, the base immerses us in the earthy and resinous depth of nature itself. Patchouli, vetiver, and cedar create a firm, woody base, while styrax, resin, and benzoin add warm and enveloping nuances. Musk and sandalwood seal the journey with an ethereal and comforting aura that lingers on the skin like the whisper of an endless forest.

From the first moment, the fragrance shines with the sparkling freshness of lime, pink grapefruit, and bergamot, accompanied by the vitality of citron and lemon in all their intensity. Ginger and pink pepper provide a vibrant contrast that enhances the citrus energy, while blackcurrant and sweet orange balance with a juicy and luminous nuance.

Heart Notes: A Harmonious Green and Floral Garden

At the heart of Foresta Magica, an aromatic landscape dominated by rosemary, verbena, and clary sage blooms. These herbs intertwine with the elegant softness of magnolia, jasmine, and gardenia, while lavender adds a delicate veil that reinforces the composition's serenity. This combination evokes the sensation of walking through an enchanted forest, where every breeze brings with it a floral and herbal whisper.

Base Notes: The Earthy and Mystical Depth of the Forest

The base reveals the forest's most intimate essence. Vetiver and patchouli build a green and moist texture, while cedar provides solidity and structure. Styrax, resin, and benzoin envelop with a balsamic and comforting character, blending with the creamy softness of sandalwood. Musk and ambrette seed add an ethereal and slightly animalic touch that prolongs the trail with natural sophistication.
