Fresh Essence, where opposites complement each other. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and imagine smelling the scent of lemon and lime: an unmistakable, zesty perfume. But there’s another scent, warm and comforting, it is the scent of Larch and Mimosa tenuiflora bark. Fresh Essence springs from this contrast, from the zest of citrus fruit and the warmth of wood, two opposites that, although so different, attract, blend with and enhance one another.

CAMELLIA
The first people to appreciate the enchanting delicacy of this flower were the Japanese and Chinese, where the finest varieties of the Camellia were reserved to the nobility and members of the cultural sphere who knew and practised the art of garden design. In Europe, this flower appeared in the 1700s, through a Jesuit missionary in the Philippines, Father George Joseph Kamel. It was his name that inspired the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus, who was the first to classify it as Camellia. Today, anyone who dabbles in the language of flowers also knows that it symbolises romantic love and long-lasting devotion of lovers.
