Notturno tells of my inner journey, a dark tunnel where I pause to reflect on the beauty of poetry, on words etched by the ink of life. The intoxicating notes of Rum mark the path like a slap. An ethereal journey to a distant time, imaginary and dark rooms of the mind. The heart of the perfume is enveloping, like leather wrapped around old writers' diaries; a warm scent of Spices, Birch, and an elegant and dark Leather accord cradles a delicate scent of flowers. It is here, in this instant of the night, that the notes of Ink introduce the poets who have marked my life: Hölderlin, Rilke, Celan, Strindberg, Dostoevsky. There is a moment in this perfume where I wanted a sensual and romantic mutation; it is its base. The warm notes of Amber and Musk, the creamy and enveloping notes of Sandalwood, the spiritual notes of Cedarwood and Incense. The dusty and smoky memory that remains on us is the soul of poetry. Notturno has been an important passage in my journey, a perfume where I wanted each of us to confront ourselves, with the poetry that has marked our lives. [Notturno was conceived, created, and arranged while listening to the album: Silent Enigma by Anathema during each of these phases]
