Mendittorosa Albatros Eau de Parfum

Versi is an olfactory study in three chapters. Versi explores and enjoys the wonderful correspondences between perfume and poetry. The third and last of the three studies is Albatros, inspired by the poem of the same name by Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867). The poem was published in the collection Les Fleurs du Mal (1st Edn: 1857).

When you talk about poetry, you must include the poets. The Poet is the one who does. The individual becomes a poet, the symbol of all humanity. The poet is a person using human wings, literally speaking. The wings open our sensitivity. Unfortunately, we often forget both our wings and our sensitivity. It is sensitivity that makes us fly high, but also the wings that can make us stumble.

No one has ever described such ambivalence better than Charles Baudelaire in his poem Albatros. We are all Albatros. We can soar majestically in the air of life and awkwardly tumble upon our own wings. We arouse admiration but also derision. Because some people have forgotten their Albatros.

It is a wind of Freedom, without fear, hesitation and shame. A cerulean horizon that welcomes those who want to open their wings.
