White musk

Infused with powdery, spicy and floral hints, white musk is a highly persistent olfactory note. Its woody scents evoke the earth, woods, damp leaves and autumn walks. Thanks to its softness, it guarantees sweetness and a long-lasting composition to the notes it accompanies.

The essence of white musk comes from the Stereocaulo Vesuvianum, a lichen that covers the slopes of volcanoes with a soft silver carpet. In these hostile environments, its vegetal veil prepares the way for other more complex formations, such as valerian, gorse and sourwood.

In the eighteenth century, it is said that the mosses of the Vesuvian area, rich in mucilage, were used in the composition of the first Italian face powders, In the following century, this scent was used in romantic perfumes, inspired by nature and the charm of the forests.
