Quando Rapita In Estasi

This is a tribute to Maria Callas – the legendary Divina – and her iconic interpretation of the “madness scene” in Donizetti’s Lucia di Lammermoor, performed at La Scala in the 1950s. The fragrance is conceived as an olfactory aria: dramatic, hypnotic, and deeply emotional.

Smoky facets of opium and balsamic silver fir intertwine with the soft sweetness of Tonka bean. At its heart, a peach note glows with a quiet sense of solitude and tender melancholy – like a warm light in a darkened room. A bright, delicate thread of lily of the valley runs through the composition, leaving traces as indelible as the scars left in the wake of madness.

The perfume captures the moment when reality shifts, when the stage lights collide with an inner, hidden space. A creation shaped by the opera’s courage, intensity, and vulnerability – as captivating as Callas herself.
