SIX SUBVERSIVE HOME FRAGRANCES
It seems like home fragrances always have to revolve around cleanliness, freshly ironed, neatly folded, and aired. Soapy or aquatic notes, talcum powder, fresh and subtle citrus, or soft white flowers. Why can't a home smell of spices? Cedar, leather, patchouli, or tuberose?
We're accustomed to the purity of freshly clean sheets drying in the sun, a fresh breeze that provides well-being, the fragrant mist after a relaxing shower... A scent that's difficult to describe but almost universal and timeless, one we associate with comfort and calm. It's certainly a very pleasant feeling to have something like this greet you as you walk through the door. But there are times, especially at this time of year, when you want something more welcoming , more elaborate, less neutral. Sweeter and creamier aromas, with a sophisticated, creative, and signature touch. For a special occasion, such as a dinner party, or just because. We want to light a thicker, more special candle, one that will scent the house, creating an enveloping and longer-lasting trail.
We present six sensual, enigmatic, niche, and gourmet fragrances . There's nothing random about them. They're powerful, rich, and a little dark, perfect for fall, with scents and glasses that dress up the home. Don't hide them.
Because we're not afraid and we like controversy and we want you to try what you've always wanted to try.
Havana, 19-69

Its notes include saffron, vanilla, Laotian oud, and caramel. It smells sweet even when unlit.
Ambra Nera, Ortigia
It is a subtle scent of musky amber, resin, and spices, with vetiver and patchouli, Byzantine Sicily in all its splendor: mystery, sensuality, and refinement. Warm, complex, opulent, and majestic, somewhere between Italian and oriental. Its patterns evoke the golden mosaics of the Palatine Chapel in Palermo. It is available in different formats, including candles and diffusers.
