Oceano Viola is a Lynchian perfume, and part of its inspiration derives from Twin Peaks – The Return, where the violet ocean emerges as a cosmic threshold, fluid and luminous. It is a sea without defined limits. An expanse vibrating with purple and mystery. David Lynch presents it as womb of pure consciousness, origin of being, and dissolution of identity. In that landscape, time expands. Reality renounces its linearity. Man drifts in a liquid universe, crossing a sea of violet light to be reborn elsewhere. Cooper does not enter it to lose himself, but to access a wider truth.

Oceano Viola preserves the dramatic patience of iris: its rhizome, fleshy and horizontal, absorbs waiting and transforms it into aromatic memory. Years pass before its fragrance rises to the surface. And it is precisely this long gestation that grants it depth. The flower fades quickly. The rhizome, instead, endures. And it sings its silent nobility. In liturgical time, iris accompanies the act of recollection. In sacred chambers, its burnt rhizomes purify air and thought. In the Middle Ages, it was kept beside altars as an aromatic bridge between earth and sky. Iris offers a depth that both heals and unsettles. It leads toward places where interiority may germinate - without haste, without clamour - with all the strength of what rises after having long been hidden.
