Inspiration: On turbulent seas, an inescapably transient pirate ship braves black waters, leagues deep in mystery. Black Phantom “Memento Mori” reveals its hidden treasures to the curious nose in waves.
Fragrance story: Rum accord from Martinique, akin to ‘pirates water’, spikes the scent of strong coffee at its heart, balanced by vetiver essence. A deadly bite of cyanide accord hides menacingly, like the smile from death itself. Smile back as sugar cane and dark, creamy sandalwood assures a trying journey holds a sweet reward.
In a great shimmer, Ginger, Nutmeg and Cardamom provoke a verbal joust with the burst of a high and pretentious Rose in reaction to Olibanum’s retort. The response to a waft of Tabacco was not long in coming, so that in the end, Oud, who was roused by Patchouli, also understood his arrogance.
[pʀ ɔliks] adj. Litt. [ETYM. Derived from Latin. Prolixus: « That which is widely diffused »].
Ginger, Cardamom, Cinnamon… clothe and envelop us while Rose’s radiance, bolstered by Patchouli’s mysterious power and Oud’s obscure intensity, escalates into a great blaze, emitting wafts of Tobacco and Oliban.
An attribute of immortal gods and a symbol of wealth, yellow gold offers an epic fragrance that is worthy of the Odyssey. From its bow of Galbanum resin, a ship of pure Cardamom navigates the Saffron waves of a roaring Ambergris sea. Sails of Patchouli and Vanilla carry her toward a beach strewn with Carnations on a unknown island where Guaiacwood waits to be discovered.
Amidst the radiant depth of Carnation and the excitement of the spices, VENI represents a voyage worthy of the greatest ancient epics and dedicated to all who have a thirst for adventure and the unknown.
