The idea of the first composition came from a legend according to which, during the period of tuberose bloom, young women, having been made vulnerable by the sensual smell of this heady flower, were locked away to avoid seduction from men. The imagination and creativity of Antonio were fired and set in motion the idea of a story divided into three scents, olfactory tomes of a poem dedicated to the moon.
According to Antonio, perfume is a passion that speaks of mystery, sensuality and seduction; he felt the moon was a natural expression of his idea of perfumery. The mystery of darkness into her hidden face, her white light that lights up the night and offers a new look to any shape, the symbolism that accompanies the moon in all cultures and religions, her changeable and ambiguous appearance are the elements that have influenced Antonio and his inspiration.
The second perfume of the "lunar" trio is Nuit Rouge, ("Red Night"), a haunting composition that matches grapefruit and rhubarb, with saffron, coffee and leather. Like a blood moon, or luna eclipse, the perfume invokes a sense of 'other-worldliness', where once familiar shadows are seen in an unfamiliar light. Nuit Rouge is perhaps one of the most startling perfumes creations ever, with a true power to surprise without ever losing sight of a seductive charm.
All three fragrances in the trio are characterised by strong contrasts, opulent structures and leather notes. All the names start with the letter ‘N’, like the night. The concentration of the three fragrances is Eau de Parfum.
