"I am absolute fan, in fact a lover, of Caravaggio's paintings. Few other painters stimulate my imagination like his dark and dramatic compositions. Standing in front of his work, I sometimes ask myself: if this painting would be a perfume, how would it smell? Maybe imperfectly, this is a scented portrait of what I have in mind when I admire a Caravaggio.

 

An ominous chiaroscuro, light and darkness in an echo, two opposing strengths creating both a contrast and a harmony, feminine and masculine dancing with each other to the beat of a drum or the soft crackle of embers. The odor AND the image of black paint dripping on a canvas and, at the same time, the faceted shine of a diamond parure worn over a black leather garment.

 

This perfume is a real tour de force."
