The story of this perfume originates around Lake Como. A body of water that has always fascinated us because it is so deep that it far exceeds the sea where we live, yet circumscribed in a spectacular mountainous setting. In fact, the lake is located in a basin surrounded by mountains rich in woods and offers a landscape with the most varied and fragrant aspects.
 Along its banks alternate pastures, woods, rugged and imposing rocks, picturesque villages overlooking the water and beautiful villas with parks and gardens. The Center of the Lake, where the three branches meet, is the point with the mildest climate and the widest panorama.
 We loved reaching this water crossroads by boat to enjoy the best view over the entire promontory of Bellagio, the northern Grigna overlooking the Valsassina and, on clear days, the upper basin with the Alpine chain in the background.
 The most familiar and loved place has always been the branch of Lecco which offers a more rugged and evocative panorama, with the southern Grigna, of Dolomite origin, and the Corni di Canzo which, descending towards the lake, form suggestive coves and inlets. Our favorite refuge was the Fiumelatte spring, described by Leonardo da Vinci.
 It was already called as Fiumelaccio in Leonardo da Vinci's Codex Atlanticus who was very intrigued by this phenomenon.
 "It is the Fiumelaccio, which falls more than 100 meters high from the vein from which it arises, plumb on the lake, with inestimable clatter and noise."
 Leonardo da Vinci
 This stream that had intrigued Leonardo da Vinci, had bewitched us children for its unique peculiarity in the world: water flows in the stream with its regular intermittence from 25 March to 7 October. The water comes out of a mysterious cave full of scents that would be impossible to verbalize beyond that
 reductive. A place where the alchemy of the perfumer came to life before any other where. The rock of the cave itself smelled. After the vault from where the torrent flows only in certain intervals, here is its bed that shows itself as a true lunar landscape wrapped in the cosmic oxen of a place where natural light never filters. Venturing inside with a fire torch in hand was like walking on the moon, but even more excited and vivid in memory was to come out of the vault and find yourself in front of the calm water mirror of the lake on which a moon was reflected iridescent and the Big Dipper lying on the high mountains, the two immersed in an enveloping scent of earth and roots, refreshed by the smell of water.
 From this emotion comes an extract with a severe character, but at the same time reassuring, like the hand that supports you on the arduous path. A strength and a warmth that never leaves you.
