Sogno Reale
Note
Composed by Amélie Bourgeois
The calm sea meets volcanic smoke, and lemon slices through the air like an electric flash. MENDITTOROSA Sogno Reale is an extract of a dream that simultaneously smells of brine, leather, rum, and warm fur.
Lemon, bergamot, and a marine-iodic accord open it brilliantly and salty. The citrus is sunny, but the iodine and the impression of sea urchins immediately add a metallic, almost leathery tension.
Amélie Bourgeois starts from Edgar Allan Poe's verse about a dream within a dream. The subconscious here becomes an ocean through which one travels from a calm surface towards volcanic vapors, wood, and animal warmth.
Tuberose appears gently, surrounded by rum and patchouli. Volcanic olibanum and hyraceum then give a smoky, carnal depth, while sandalwood, styrax, and amber-woods build a protective base.
On the skin, the citrus gradually fades into a salty-resinous warmth. If you are looking for bright marine freshness or classic tuberose, Sogno Reale will be too iodic, animalic, and surreal for you.
In the end, a drop of rum remains on a salt-covered rock, with tuberose and hyraceum warmed by the Mediterranean sun — a dream that tastes of the sea and the temperature of skin.
