Did you know that Leonardo de Vinci was fond of perfumes\u00a0? So, why not explore his approach, just like a lesson in perfumery, at the time of the Renaissance\u00a0! In fact, the perfume, called \u00ab\u00a0the \u00a0nameless perfume, was shown during a private event.\u00a0 As it was created for\u00a0 the closure of the \u00ab\u00a0Genio e Belleza\u00a0\u00bb exhibition, in 2019 , designed by Maria Pulli, the searcher. A perfume, that has never been and will never be commercialized. Although being late, I thought it was interesting, to share\u00a0with you, the methodology and\u00a0Leonardo da Vinci\u2019s glance onto the perfume.<\/p>\n

This project of this “nameless” Perfume, has been created in collaboration with ICR-Industrie Cosmetiche Riunite<\/a>, Symrise, Bormioli Luigi Glassmaker, Industrial Box, Candiani, Quinto Lancio and Aptar. In addition, it aims to illustrate Loeornardo\u2019s symbolysism, on an olfactory role. “As for teh last stage of the travelling project, we wanted to end up on an exceptional event” said Ambra Martone, President of the Academia del Profumo<\/a>, also a partner.<\/p>\n

Thanks to Mara Pulli\u2019s recent discoveries, a specialist of Leonardo da Vinci, one learns that the painter was dedicated to perfume. More precisely, he tried to capture the essences of the plants. That is how she found out, in his notes from the codice atlantico, descriptions of the various procedures of methods of extraction, such as the maceration,and the \u00ab\u00a0 enfleurage,\u00a0that he called “modern technic”. For him, perfume acted as a treatment just as well\u00a0 as\u00a0 a \u00a0seduction device. Actually, on can cite the jasminum officinalis, the lavandula spica and the citrus aurantium, among his favourite essential oils. He already at the time, was using even ligustrum vulgare. These ingredients are still used today as one can see. More, he became a garden designer of odours. That is why, he designed for a garden, a roof consisting of cedars and lemon trees. A green perfume would release mingled with the song of the birds, creating a synesthetic atmosphere.<\/p>\n

As a consequence, this \u00ab\u00a0 nameless\u00a0\u00bb perfume had to express the eclectic and stunning Leonardo de Vinci\u2019s spirit. In fact, he has been able to be enigmatic while also highly spiritual, even a visionary as well. It\u2019s about this duality, that Emilie considered interesting, to put forward. What could have been better than the tree, in order to illustrate this statement. For her, the tree symbolizes a natural element deeply rooted into the earth, but also with its branches orientated towards the Divine.<\/p>\n

The choice of the oak appeard to be an evidence. It is a grand, noble tree with the emblem of longevity. “That is why my creation turns around this central idea, while evoking an olfactory illusion, regarding the mutiple interpretations, in the manner of Leonardo\u2019s work” declares Emilie. Eventually, notes of pink berries, of seeds of angelic are there to show Leonard\u2019s fantasy. The soul of the perfume is impregnated with\u00a0 patchouli for it\u2019s deepness, of incense for the spiritual touch. Finally, the ambrostar, which is a Symrise captive, brings vibration and a masculine effect.<\/p>\n

“The challenge to raise, was about capturing the multifaceted essence of Leonardo de Vinci\u2019s work. More, the project\u00a0 had to \u00a0enclose the esthetic of the Renaissance. In order to design this flacon, I smelt the perfume for a long time, and I spent many hours of study with Maria Pirulli, the searcher and commissionary of the exhibition” told me Franz Delano from Quinto Lancio agency<\/a>.<\/p>\n
