In the world of navigation, the term "Deriva" refers to the movement of a boat without a course, drifting at the mercy of the waves and currents. An uncontrolled movement, thus the loss of control over our will, without a clear destination, floating towards an unknown place. This journey, sometimes relaxed like on sunny days, without wind and in calm seas, or at other times impetuous and adrenaline-filled, amid the fury of the storm and waves, abandoned, almost happily resigned, to the mercy of external events, are the two faces of the same seductive coin that inspires the navigator and explorer to move away from the shore, leaving the safe harbor of their knowledge, to embark on a journey towards oblivion and wonder, through unknown adventures and challenges. The safe zones of what we know give way to the discovery of the mystery that both terrifies and attracts us.
Imagine we are aboard our beloved "Telea" in the middle of the sea, in the deep blue, so far from the mainland that we can no longer see the coastline. With the naked eye, nothing appears around us. We are alone in the middle of the ocean when, suddenly, the wind completely stops and everything around us takes on an unreal calm. We have entered a calm patch and it is no longer possible to steer our boat. We no longer hear the creaking of the rigging fighting the force of the wind or the slapping of the hull cutting through the waves. Everything falls silent and takes on a new dimension; no muscle or thought can resist this oblivion. We drift slowly, indeed, allowing life to permeate our soul. Sometimes you need to surrender to life in order to fully live it, just as when drifting in the middle of the sea toward the unknown. This sensual surrender to the flow of events is contained in this perfume called Deriva, the emblem of losing oneself completely in the oblivion of our most secret and unconfessable passions.
The creation opens with an acrobatic and mysterious chord, where aromatic notes intertwine with citrus notes. Here are the echoes of precious citrus fruits like Bergamot from Reggio Calabria and Lemon from Sorrento, paired with the counterpoint of Bulgarian Lavender and Zanzibar Cardamom, softened by the sugary smoothness of Brazilian Pineapple. This floating head surrenders to a seductive and exciting heart, where the echoes of flowers like Egyptian Geranium and Italian Gardenia mix silently with the aromatic notes of Peruvian Pink Pepper, accentuated by the rebellious spirit of Singapore Patchouli and the sour sweetness of Russian Raspberry. The entire creation is supported by a solid base, where the spicy aromatic foundations gain strength from the scent of Virginia Tobacco Leaves, mixed with the robust, aphrodisiac sweet echoes of Madagascar Vanilla Pods and Colombian Tonka Beans, emphasized by the reverberations of precious woods like Australian Sandalwood and Italian Rosewood. Deriva encapsulates in a precious drop of perfume the spirit of knowing how to lose oneself in the whirlwind of our passions and emotions, without fear or regret of getting lost in oblivion, because sometimes letting go without resistance is the only way to discover the great beauty of life, the essence of existence.
