Petals and Swords

Description

Petali e Spade, a fragrance that questions and then redefines the notion of fragility as a form of strength, is inspired by the resilience and grace of Xiao Mei, the blind dancer protagonist in the film “House of Flying Daggers.” It’s a perfume that encapsulates the idea that acknowledging one’s vulnerability ignites the inner flame of innovation, change, and self-discovery.

Fragrance Story:

This scent is a homage to every woman who, like Xiao Mei, navigates through life’s uncertainties with unwavering determination, bending but never breaking under the weight of life’s challenges. It celebrates the journey from recognizing one’s vulnerabilities to discovering an unfaltering spirit and graceful ferocity.

Top Notes: The fragrance begins with an uplifting blend of bergamot, tea leaf accord, white peach, and aldehydic notes. These elements represent the light and ethereal aspect of Xiao Mei’s character and her dance that defies gravity.

Heart Notes: The heart of Petali e Spade is a floral medley of jasmine, magnolia, and osmanthus, symbolizing the layered and complex nature of strength that lies beneath a delicate exterior.

Base Notes: The base notes of sandalwood, myrrh, amber, fruity musk, and vanilla embody the depth of Xiao Mei’s character. They reflect the transformative journey from a hypnotic dance to a battle for survival, just as a gentle branch can turn into a lethal dagger.

Perfumer: Created by the esteemed Antonio Alessandria, Petali e Spade is more than a fragrance; it’s a narrative captured in a scent.
