US since 1986
50 ml Extrait de Parfum - By Enrico Buccella
“US since 1986” is not merely a fragrance, but an olfactory manifesto celebrating the purest concept of "Us." Its inspiration is rooted in the Socratic philosophy of love: the human being—intrinsically mortal—finds the key to immortality through love. It is not a matter of mere biological continuity, but a transmission of the soul. It represents the spiritual legacy, the indelible imprint that our loved ones leave upon us and the world, transcending the boundaries of time.
The Creation: Olfactory Archaeology
To translate such an absolute concept into perfume, Enrico Buccella undertook an act of true artistic resistance, selecting legendary raw materials—gems of classical perfumery that are now nearly impossible to find and destined to vanish. It is a physical and olfactory bond with the past, built to create a bridge toward the infinite.
The Olfactory Pyramid
Luminous and Aromatic Opening:
The journey begins with the intellectual freshness of Bergamot and Coriander, immediately warmed by the vibrant, spicy notes of Cardamom and Bay Leaf, and the primal, green burst of Galbanum, Myrtle, and Mastic. An opening evocative of Mediterranean soil and one's roots.
A Heretical, Floral Heart:
The heart reveals a profound soul, where hints of oregano blend with a select few floral notes, emerging like rare accents of unexpected beauty.
An Immortal and Opulent Foundation:
The true signature of the fragrance lies in its base—monumental and enduring. A massive dose of Patchouli intertwines with the magnetic darkness of Oud wood, Tobacco Absolute, and the sacred notes of Incense. The structure is sealed by warm, mystical resins such as Tolu Balsam, Benzoin, and Labdanum, underpinned by the animalic masculinity of Castoreum, the woodiness of Cedar, and Oakmoss.
Hovering above it all like a timeless aura is the majesty of Natural Ambergris—a legendary ingredient that anchors the fragrance to both skin and soul.
