Description

The Divine Comedy, a poem that draws the blurred line between heaven and hell, light and shadow

1472 (La Divina Commedia) opens with cool mugwort and florals, then a somewhat psychedelic, cheerful air flows.

Sweetness and coolness moving forward together seem to draw the blurred line between opposites.

It also brings to mind a glaring sun, and personally it's a scent I really want to wear in summer.

1472 15mL Histoires de Parfums

 

1472 is the year the Divine Comedy, a medieval poetic masterpiece, was published.
Written by Dante Alighieri, it is divided into three parts, Paradise, Purgatory and Hell, and explores the ideas of "good and evil", "virtue and sin", and "faith and unbelief".

The line between heaven and hell, light and shadow, is uncertain, and the difference between gourmet and glutton is very slight.
And a spark of desire may catch even a modest soul in the net of debauchery.

This story, played behind a veil of ylang-ylang and armoise (mugwort), follows heaven's radiance with a psychedelic heat of jasmine and incense, forbidden fruit and rum on the lips, and amber and ebony wood on the skin.

A parfum that changes form every moment and slips from our hands. Unfulfilled desire bursts into a fearsome passion that stirs the five senses. A perfume of love that enthralls, with the elegance of standing on the threshold of life's fleetingness. A perfume gushing with earthly joys: no sooner has it let us taste a delicious eternity than we become its prisoners.

Here, heaven and hell are separated by a hair's breadth...
