2020 WINTER EscENTIALS – winter tones.


Winter is the season of nuances and semitones. Unlike in summer, nature doesn’t brag with a spectacular and overpowering color palette, she applies a different strategy to capture our attention. Just like a skillful speaker lowers his voice to make sure you listen really carefully and don’t miss a single word of his wisdom, the natural world tones done sound and sight encouraging a more acute awareness in us to discover a host of beauty and variety. And when the snow falls all is covered with a soft thick blanket, smoothing out all corners and edges and finally dampening the noise of the world so we can easily tune in to the delicious music inside of us.

What a perfect frame of mind to enjoy the beauty of perfumery, taking in every note and detail! For our 2020 WINTER EscENTIALS photographer duo Nocera&Ferri teamed up with set designer Maya Angeli to celebrate six carefully selected fragrances in a series of mesmerizing images of sensuous minimalism.
