Caput Mundi Extrait 100 ml

The new moon presents itself to us as a shining circle with a black, wonderful and perfect color suspended in the celestial vault. Since ancient times it has been said to contain magical powers and to have great influence on earth, being propitiatory for the luck and joy of the men who turn to her. In fact, for centuries, especially during the glorious era of the Roman Empire, the New Moon has always been considered as a symbol of good sorts and future prosperity. Like every new beginning, even this interval of time marked by the lunar phases, brought with it the hope of the future that advances and that of being able to fulfill one's wishes. Under a Black Moon, enveloped in the charm of history and the glories of the Roman Empire, the children Paolo and Tiziana, in the company of their beloved family and dear grandparents Guglielmo and Luigia, embark on an adventurous journey to the fabulous capital of Italy, Rome , always known as Caput Mundi or capital of the world, thanks to the glories that began with the Roman Empire. Rome is the eternal city that spans the entire history of humanity and captivates with its monumental beauty, its alleys and famous squares that hosted Fellini's Dolce Vita. Every corner breathes history and fantasy, every building, every brick, every stone of this magnificent city is unique and magical, where reality merges with fantasy, where legends become eternal myths and where happiness never stops pulsing at every hour of the day and night. Precisely on one of these magical nights in the middle of a Roman summer, Paolo and Tiziana, walking in the beautiful Piazza Navona, symbol of Baroque Rome, begin their journey to discover wonder. The grandfather who had lived in Rome in his years in the Cavalry, begins to tell stories and legends, pointing to breathtaking monuments, mysterious palaces and enchanted fountains. Along the way they first meet Palazzo Madama, today the seat of the Italian Senate and immediately after, having taken a slight curve, the marvel of the Pantheon colonnade appears, with its very high braziers of fire, in which precious woods burned intensely, giving off a regal perfume in the whole area, in commemoration of the noble ancestors. Still enraptured by this effluvium of precious woods, dreamy and excited, the two children remain enraptured and their hearts stop for a moment with emotion: they are standing in front of the legendary Trevi Fountain, one of the most iconic beauties of Rome, Caput Mundi. A place that is not only suggestive and beautiful, but above all the symbol of that Roman Dolce Vita crystallized by the homonymous film by Federico Fellini where the beautiful Anita Ekberg throws herself into the fountain for the famous bath together with Marcello Mastroinanni. The tradition of the place is also linked to the toss of a coin into the fountain: by doing this with your eyes closed, turning your back on the gigantic tub, you would propitiate a future return to the city and a lot of luck in life. Excited and full of desires, Paolo and Tiziana immediately perform their ritual, closing their eyes and with their faces turned to the sky, they throw the coins they were holding firmly in their small hands. At the sound of their dive into the crystalline water, they secretly open their eyes and an even greater and more magical marvel appears in front of them: the black moon above them, ready to fulfill their every wish. The air was filled with the scents of precious wood burned in the braziers and the ecstasy in front of so many emotions of beauty struck the two boys who almost fainted from so much experience so that their grandfather had to support them both in a strong and delicate embrace at the same time . The strength of that emotion is today enclosed in this magical black bottle, like the moon that inspired it, where precious woods are mixed in regal and unique scents. The creation opens with a persuasive and sweet floral note, where the precious Bulgarian Rose Absolute echoes, combined with Tea Rose and Lily of the Valley. In regal counterpoint, the precious Iris emerges, supported by the strength of the Cabreuva wood originally from Brazil. This princely and gentle head rests on a tenacious and courageous heart, made with the precious Black Oudh of India and Sandalwood, skilfully mixed with Red Patchouli. These woods find strength and emphasis thanks to the acrobatic echoes generated by Orris (the most expensive ingredient in perfumery) and Sicilian Red Saffron. This royal heart bases its roots on a foundation worthy of this marvel. Here we clearly perceive the persuasive and aphrodisiac thrust of Ambergris embraced by the long-lasting strength of Cuban Cedar wood and Cashmere Wood. At the end of an extraordinary lasting we find the imperial impetus of the precious Agarwood of Vietnam and the Oudh of Cambodia. The indelible and irrepressible force of the capital city of the world, in a drop of eternal regal and magical beauty for true aesthetes of timeless and endless refinement just like the cycle of the Black Moon.
