Sailing through the crystal-clear waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the island of Elba reveals itself in all its majestic beauty. During one of their explorative journeys, Paolo and Tiziana were captivated by the timeless atmosphere of this island, steeped in legends, folk traditions, and a rare, precious natural landscape. Among the many stories shared by locals, one touched them deeply: the legend of Princess Alba and the knight Sabino, two souls in love but destined to part by divine will. The goddess Venus, guardian of their dreams, turned the island into their refuge, but their failure to honor her condemned their love to an eternity of torment. To this day, it is said that Alba’s call echoes through the Roman ruins of the Grottos of Portoferraio – a cry of hope that stirs the hearts of those who listen. Paulo Coelho once wrote: “I have learned that the world has a soul, and whoever understands that soul will understand the language of things.” These words seem to embody the very spirit of Elba, where every path, every breeze, every fruit of the land carries a deep and universal message. Paolo and Tiziana sought to capture the essence of this extraordinary place and its eternal love story, transforming it into a fragrance: Ilba. The fragrance was created as a tribute to this land and the legend that surrounds it – an essence that holds the sweetness of its fruits, the scent of its flowers, and the depth of its roots. Ilba is an olfactory journey that celebrates love, nature, and the magic of a timeless island.
The fragrance opens with a bouquet evoking the gentle freshness of spring. Petals of Japanese Cherry Blossom blend with the softness of Tuscan Apricot Flower, while Indian Sambac Jasmine adds an exotic touch. Lavender and Juniper Leaves from the Island of Elba lend an herbaceous, aromatic note reminiscent of sea breezes. At its heart, Ilba reveals a sensual and fruity richness. Tuscan Peach Blossoms merge with juicy Red Cherries from Romagna, while Elba Magnolia adds sophisticated elegance. Hints of Musk and a whisper of fresh Oxygen evoke the purity of the island’s air, suspended between sea and sky. The base notes hold the primal strength of Elba. The woody intensity of Maremma Strawberry Tree blends with Tuscan Birch, Red Elm, and Juniper Wood from Elba. Grey Amber brings depth and sensuality, sealing the fragrance with an enveloping, persistent trail. Ilba is a seal of rare emotions – a journey into the deepest corners of the heart, where each note tells an eternal tale of nature and emotion.
