This fragrance begins in the shade of a sin, but not any ... but sin with capital P. With Sainte + Figue Eau de Parfum, Francesca Dellsca wanted to open up the history of an emblematic and fascinating fruit, as well as strongly symbolic, full of contrasts and religious and prophetic meanings. We are talking, of course, of the fig, a sacred and revered fruit, as well as its plant. For ancient philosophers, its link with knowledge is undisputed and celebrated at all times: icon of knowledge, clarity for the mind, fruit capable of stimulating curiosity and physical strength. Eastern religions also venerate its sacred plant: the Buddhists, in fact, attribute to the "being under a fig tree" the true link with the faith and deep well -being. The fig, however, is a fruit with a double value: not surprisingly, the biblical narrative mentions the fig tree as entities that presides over the birth, but also that leads to damnation; Moreover, Adam De Eva used his leaves to cover his shame. Sainte + Figue Eau de Parfum explores all darkest, voluptuous and multifaceted sides of the fig.
Packaging: impossible not to spend a few lines on the wonderful box of this perfume! The new graphics are inspired by the ancient Roman frescoes (in particular, to the home of the orchard). The image, hand redesigned to Acquerello by Francesca Manetta, was created specifically for the new case and is a riot of references and colors related to the symbolism of the fig and snake. An Eden Garden, where the fig tree stands with connection between heaven and earth, between human and divine.
