This creation is inspired by one of the greatest artists who ever lived in our castle of Gradara at the time of Sigismondo. Leon Battista Alberti was a great architect, writer, mathematician, humanist, philosopher, musician and much more. A true all-round artist, full of aesthetic sensitivity and stylistic wit, so much so that he is still appreciated today for his works and the meticulous execution with which he approached each discipline.
The fragrance was created to celebrate the artist and his inimitable and unique style, which is reflected in this perfume bearing his name. Leon opens with an accord based on the classic canons of Italian perfumery, where the allure of regal flowers such as Bulgarian Rose and Mexican Tuberose is combined with the effervescence of southern citrus fruits, with echoes of Calabrian Mandarin and Sicilian Grapefruit. With gentle elegance, this head allows itself to be enveloped by a deep sensual middle note, where Indian Jasmine blended with Ylang Ylang and Magnolia embrace the sweetness of Thai Coconut and juicy Romagna Peach, in an exhilarating balance of seduction and sweetness. The ensemble is underpinned by strong foundations, just like the famous architects buildings, expressed by decisive reverberations of noble woods such as Tuscan Birch, strong Lebanon Cedarwood and Maple wood, counterbalanced by the seductive combination of Madagascan Bourbon Vanilla and Musk.
Leon represents stylistic elegance with severe precision that will enrapture you in a blaze of mystery.
The V Canto Collection is inspired by one of the most beautiful love stories in the world: the love for one's roots and native land.
The Terenzi family has lived near the Castello di Gradara, one of the oldest castles in Italy, for over 700 years. Setting down roots among the beautiful hills, the woods and the blue Adriatic sea, it is a family of travelers and explorers who loves to return to their home made of scents and colors dominated by the blue velvet shades of the sea after every adventure. From this wild but beautiful area comes, in fact, much of the creative energy and love for beauty that distinguishes all of Terenzi’s artworks.
Breathing the air under the big tower, rich in history and secrets, walking among the high walls of the castle, in the past defended by the Avi with their lives, building castles in the sand on the seashore and dreaming while standing on the highest peak of the cliff, brings the soul closer to what we were and lets us glance through history.
