The story of this fragrance begins around Lake Como. A body of water that has always fascinated us because it is much deeper even than the sea where we live, but surrounded by spectacular mountains. In fact, the lake is located in a basin surrounded by forest-covered mountains and has a varied and fragrant landscape. Along its banks there are pastures, forests, steep and imposing rocks, picturesque villages overlooking the water and beautiful villages with parks and gardens. The central part of the lake, where the three arms meet, is the gentlest point but with the widest landscape. We loved reaching this crossroads of water by boat and seeing the best views over the Bellagio promontory, on the northern Grigna overlooking the Valsassina and, on clear days, the upper basin with the Alps in the background. The most familiar and beloved place has always been the Lecco branch, which has a wilder and more picturesque panorama, with the southern Grigna, of dolomitic origin, and the rocks of Corni di Canzo that, descending towards the lake, form picturesque bays and inlets. . Our favorite refuge was the Fiumelatte fountain, described by Leonardo da Vinci. It was already known as "Fiumelaccio" in the Codex Atlantico by Leonardo da Vinci, who was very intrigued by this phenomenon. This stream that intrigued Leonardo da Vinci, had enchanted us children due to its unique characteristic in the world: the water flows in the stream intermittently from March 25 to October 7. The water comes from a mysterious cave filled with fragrances that would be impossible to verbalize and would be an understatement if attempted. A place where the perfumer's alchemy came to life before anywhere else. The rock of the cave itself was scented. After the period when the stream flows intermittently, you can see its channel that appears to be a real lunar landscape.
