TIZIANA TERENZI Atlantide Extrait 100 ml Atlantide is a legendary and mysterious island, whose myth is mentioned for the first time by Plato in the dialogues Timaeus (17-27) and Critias, in the 4th century BC. According to Plato's account, Atlantis was a naval power located "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" and sank "in a single day and night of misfortune" by the hand of Poseidon. For many centuries, this legend has fueled the imagination of mankind, representing wonderful and mysterious lost things, but for us, the discovery of Atlantis also represents the longest journey and the most fascinating adventure one can undertake: the journey into our deepest and most submerged self. To dive into the most ancestral and animal emotions, into the irrational part of our being of which we are not conscious, into the place where scents live and express themselves in their magical language. The discovery and acceptance of our submerged self is a challenge to be faced in our mature age, when we possess the courage to dive into new experiences, to listen without fear to the voice of our inner world, to meet our most secret shadows and lights. Do not be afraid, listen to the enchanting song of the sirens because, according to Cicero, such a song in the Homeric epic is a promise of knowledge: Odysseus was not attracted by the sweetness of their sound, but by the insatiable desire to learn. Immerse yourself in the salty water, listen to your skin and let yourself be guided by your sense of smell to communicate with your deepest and most unknown self. You will find the way if you first have the courage to lose yourself. "Make the unconscious conscious, otherwise the unconscious will guide your life and you will call it fate" (Carl Gustav Jung). The fragrance opens with sparkling and seductive notes, the wonderful Calabrian bergamot, also known as green gold, gives this first impression a strong Italian identity, ancient rose accompanies it and enriches it with intense and elegant scents with the soft and sweet embrace of passion fruit. The heart warms up in sophisticated seduction with the provocative aroma of Narcissus, which enhances the power of the flower of sin with its carnal and intoxicating trail, the unmistakable and hypnotic aroma of tuberose. In the Renaissance, young girls were forbidden to smell its narcotic scent so as not to "fall into temptation." A similar prohibition was also applied in India – dove its name ki rani means "courtesan of the night" – since this flower releases its aroma after sunset and it was believed that its scent could make one fall into a sentimental oblivion from which it was impossible to escape. This wonderful tuberose, queen of the meadows, is the most beautiful we have encountered in many years of work and "...its scent, like vital heartbeats, seems to ignite the magnetic ardor of numbed love." (Mark André Raffalovic) Warm, sun-kissed fruits accompany this conscious vertigo of the senses, supported and harmonized by a rich base of Musk combined with the gentle strength of ambergris and the warm sweetness of benzoin. The fragrance is in a symbolic bottle on which a sea creature clings, made with the ancient goldsmith technique of granulation which, if caressed, gives a tactile pleasure to the fingertips of our fingers and can only be conquered by diving into the salty water. An experience of the senses that preludes the joy of a sweet abandonment to the most mysterious and powerful carnal pleasure: that of our mind.
