TIZIANA TERENZI Caput Mundi Extrait 100 ml The new moon appears to us as a shining black circle, wonderful and perfect, suspended in the celestial vault. Since ancient times, it has been said that it contains magical powers and has great influence on the earth, being propitiatory for the fortune and joy of the men who turn to it. In fact, for centuries, especially during the glorious era of the Roman Empire, the new moon has always been considered a symbol of good fortune and future prosperity. Like every new beginning, this interval of time marked by the lunar phases also brought with it the hope of the future advancing and that of being able to fulfill one's wishes. Under a Black Moon, surrounded by the charm of history and the splendor of the Roman Empire, the children Paolo and Tiziana, in the company of their beloved family and their dear grandparents Guglielmo and Luigia, embark on an adventurous journey to the fabulous capital of Italy, Rome, always known as Caput Mundi or capital of the world, thanks to the splendor that began with the Roman Empire. Rome is the eternal city that runs through the entire history of humanity and enchants with its monumental beauty, its alleys and famous squares that hosted Fellini's Dolce Vita. Every corner breathes history and fantasy, every building, every brick, every stone of this magnificent city is unique and magical, dove reality merges with fantasy, dove legends become eternal myths and dove happiness never stops pulsating at any hour of the day or night. It is precisely on one of these magical nights in the middle of a Roman summer that Paolo and Tiziana, strolling through the beautiful Piazza Navona, a symbol of Baroque Rome, begin their journey to discover wonder. Their grandfather, who had lived in Rome during his years in the Cavalry, begins to tell stories and legends, pointing out breathtaking monuments, mysterious palaces and enchanted fountains. Along the way they first encounter Palazzo Madama, now the seat of the Italian Senate and immediately after, taking a slight curve, the wonder of the Pantheon colonnade appears, with its very high braziers of fire, in which precious woods burned intensely, emanating a regal scent throughout the area, in commemoration of their noble ancestors. Still enraptured by this scent of precious woods, dreamy and excited, the two children remain enraptured and their hearts stop for a moment with emotion: they are standing in front of the legendary Trevi Fountain, one of the most iconic beauties of Rome, Caput Mundi. A place that is not only suggestive and beautiful, but above all the symbol of that Roman Dolce Vita crystallized by the film of the same name by Federico Fellini dove the beautiful Anita Ekberg throws herself into the fountain for the famous bath together with Marcello Mastroinanni. The local tradition is also linked to the tossing of a coin into the fountain: by doing this with your eyes closed, turning your back to the gigantic basin, you would propitiate a future return to the city and a lot of luck in life. Extremely excited and full of wishes, Paolo and Tiziana immediately perform their ritual, closing their eyes and with their faces turned to the sky, they throw the coins that they were holding firmly in their little hands. At the sound of the coins plunging into the crystalline water, they secretly open their eyes and behold, an even bigger and more magical wonder appears before them: the black moon above them, ready to grant their every wish. The air was filled with the scents of precious woods burned in the braziers and the ecstasy in front of so many emotions of beauty struck the two boys who almost fainted from so much experience so that the grandfather had to support them both in a strong and delicate embrace at the same time. The strength of that emotion is today closed in this magical black bottle, like the Moon that inspired it, dove precious woods are mixed in regal and unique scents. The creation opens with a persuasive and sweet floral note, dove echoes the precious Bulgarian Rose Absolute, combined with Tea Rose and Lily of the Valley. In regal counterpoint, the precious Iris emerges, supported by the strength of Cabreuva wood from Brazil. This princely and gentle head rests on a tenacious and courageous heart, made with the precious Black Oudh from India and Sandalwood, expertly mixed with Red Patchouli. These woods find strength and emphasis thanks to the acrobatic echoes generated by Orris (the most expensive ingredient in perfumery) and Red Saffron from Sicily. This royal heart bases its roots on a base worthy of such a marvel. Here we clearly perceive the persuasive and aphrodisiac push of Ambergris embraced by the long-lasting strength of Cuban Cedarwood and Cashmere Wood. To seal an extraordinary lasting we then find the imperial impetus of the precious Agarwood from Vietnam and Oudh from Cambodia. The indelible and irrepressible strength of the capital city of the world, in a drop o
