Already in the XVth century the Spice Route became the Route
of Perfumes and Essential Oils, as the European traders backed
their journeys and discoveries. The route came to the West, from
the proli_c islands of Indonesia. The artisan crops of the botanists
of each region were the origin of most of these spices and
oils, in a hazardous journey through Ceylon, India, Somalia,
Madagascar, Reunion and many other ports of the time.
The oils travelled in the holds of the ships, safely deposited
inside their “amphorae”. These containers, usually made of clay,
were _lled with a base of sand in which the delicate bottles of
essences and oils were anchored, keeping them in a vertical
position until their arrival at port.
The perfume “Àmfores” wants to pay homage to these extraordinary
containers, to the strong winds that accompanied them in
their adventures and to the inspiration provided by the oils they
contained.
The scent of the perfume is like a metaphorical breeze enveloped
in the citrus freshness of bergamot and lemon skins, with a
touch of green grass and the transparency of a modern watery
chord of sea-smelling aldehydes. A subtle breeze, enriched with
an original _oral bouquet of jasmine and roses, lotus _ower,
cyclamen and lily of the valleys… and that, _nally, melts, soaking
a naval structure of sandalwood that is anchored in a compact
bottom formed by a sea of musks.
