“Owls are not what they seem.”

LYNCH is a mysterious and hypnotic fragrance, an olfactory portal that pays tribute to David Lynch, one of the most important and defining presences in my life. Not only a filmmaker, but also a guide, a parallel consciousness that acted on me with the invisible force of symbol and dream. This fragrance was created in collaboration between Daniele Muratori Caputo and two master perfumers: Leonardo Opali and Paolo Cerizza.

This fragrance opens with dark, captivating notes, like a red curtain slowly parting to reveal another level of reality. A crack opens in the mist of the Twin Peaks woods. The air is dense, suspended between dream and nightmare. Time flows in a loop, like an old magnetic tape rewinding on itself. LYNCH AKA SMOKED STYRAX is a fragrance that inhabits the intersections of the unconscious, a black scent that burns slowly like fire.

The opening notes are a curtain rising on a table set at the RR Diner: the hypnotic sweetness of cherry cake blends with the dark depth of woody notes, creating an illusion of homey warmth. But nothing is as it seems. A whisper of night jasmine brings us back to reality. To that scent that David himself loved to smell on spring evenings in Hollywood. Saffron, dry and dusty, takes us back to the unsettling love scenes in the deserts of Lost Highway.

At its heart, the fragrance sinks into the woods: smoked leather and Latakia tobacco evoke the whisper of wind in the redwoods and the shadow of figures moving between the trees. A note of smoked styrax creeps in like an omen, wrapping everything in an enigmatic and unsettling atmosphere.

The base is a distant echo, a murmur from the Black Lodge: dark resins, earthy oud, and nocturnal musk leave a dreamy trail like a fleeting memory, an unsettling fragment of reality that crumbles on waking. A vanilla dark as a moonless night.

Many will ask: where is the coffee note? You'll discover it in 25 years.

Lynch is the first reference in the Golden Collection of Spiritica, a series of fragrances created to magnify the spiritual presence of certain souls who have had a powerful, almost paranormal impact on my life. Lynch is one of those presences: I never needed to know him to know he was speaking to me. Each of his films, each of his pauses, each of his unanswered riddles was a call, a coded message meant for my consciousness.

LYNCH AKA SMOKED STYRAX is not just a fragrance. It's a portal. It's a nightmare that tears open and becomes a dream. Spray it, and you may hear the voice of someone whispering your name... backward.

It's time to buy your Garmonbozia.
