DREAMS

Timeless Trilogy

fragrance

Where am I? Am I still dreaming or is this reality?

Dreams tell of that suspended moment between dreaming and real life, that moment when our mind and heart are still in a distant place and we feel lost, confused, as if suspended...

With Sogni I told my love for Japan, memories of past travels, my passion for Kawabata's literature, Kurosawa's films and bonsai. I tried to tell a new story with a warm, woody fragrance—my Japanese dream.

One day, long ago, I imagined and dreamed of being able to create the perfect woody fragrance, where the different woods tell of time, the flow of life itself; once again a challenge, a perfume that could be unique, exciting and engaging.

Dreams are the fulfillment of my desire, an immediate experience, incredibly close to reality and to the nature of things. An aesthetic devotion to nature.

Dreams' opening is tatami wood and Japanese pine needles; we are in an old ryokan in Kyoto and the rain has stopped. A bowl of hot rice sits beside us, reminding us of life's simplicity, its purity. A green, clear and transparent note of a bamboo forest lifts to our nose; the peony's floral note, by contrast, is an exhilarating haiku. A moment that preludes the awakening of our soul from the dream. Finally, the lights of this dawn wrap the woody notes of sandalwood, cedar and the typical Kodo ritual accord, incense.

A journey into the beauty of Japanese harmony.

Sogni was conceived, created and arranged while listening to
R. Sakamoto's album Async during each of these phases and reading Y. Kawabata's works.
