Composed by Amélie Bourgeois
A personal temple doesn't need walls; sometimes it's made of golden narcissus, beeswax, and the scent of skin. MENDITTOROSA Rituale is an extract that transforms ancient rites, myths, and symbols into a long, warm sunrise.
Italian bergamot and aldehyde mandarin ignite the first light, with lavender adding a calm aromatic touch. Then narcissus, jasmine, and rose create a nectarous floral heart, rich without the light, airy quality of a bouquet.
Amélie Bourgeois introduces blackcurrant, raspberry, and pomegranate among the flowers, so the red fruits act like dark drops in the golden nectar. Patchouli and sandalwood ground the composition towards roots and wood.
Beeswax, amberwoods, and hyraceum give the base a balsamic, animalic, and carnal warmth, while white musk smooths the edges. On the skin, the extract lingers for a long time, gradually transitioning from light to a more intimate shade.
If you're expecting a fresh citrus-floral perfume, the wax and hyraceum might be too dense for you. Rituale asks that you love flowers with the depth of skin, resins, and red fruits, not just neat petals.
The handcrafted twisted cap by Italian artist Mauro Carrazza represents order born from chaos, a knot of protection — a perfect final touch for a fragrance where narcissus shines above the roots.
