paura dell'acqua

In the 16th century, the fear of water and disease transformed perfume into a daily ritual. In the palaces and streets of the Italian Renaissance, fabrics, skins, and hair were adorned with precious flowers and intoxicating balms. It is this fascinating era that ānti reinterprets with Paura dell'Acqua.

The opening combines the radiance of mandarin petitgrain with the spicy freshness of ginger. A sumptuous floral heart quickly unfolds: creamy tuberose, solar Egyptian jasmine, and rose form a dense, voluptuous, and deeply seductive bouquet.

In the base, tonka bean, cistus, and woody amber envelop the composition in a soft, balsamic warmth. The sillage becomes more velvety, almost tactile, like a precious brocade impregnated with perfume after a long night of festivities in a Venetian palace.

Both floral, amber, and opulent, Paura dell'Acquacelebrates an era when perfume was much more than an accessory: a true aura, worn as a symbol of refinement and seduction.
