Cedro di Diamante

Cedro di Diamante goes back to where it all began: to Magna Graecia, land of art, philosophers and perfumes. In Diamante, a small town with a great past, Citrus Medica grows only as the result of a mutation — one of the many miracles of this Calabrian coast caressed by Tyrrhenian breezes.

It is the Perfect Tree of Jewish tradition: every year, rabbis come to this short stretch of shore to choose the finest citrons, essential for the celebration of Sukkot. Long neglected by perfumery because of its furocoumarins, Diamante citron is now regaining its place thanks to modern extraction techniques.

For the Italy Collection, Luca Maffei enhances its soft, gustatory facets with lemon and verbena, a spicy heart of pink pepper, ginger, cardamom and Sichuan pepper, and a musky base of iris and oakmoss. An infinity of Mediterranean stories, retold with modernity.
