In nautical jargon, the “eyes of Cubia” refer to the hole located in the bow area of the ship, through which both the anchor chain and the mooring ropes pass. Cubies have been present since ancient times, used by the Romans on “trabaccoli”, small sailing vessels used both for transporting people and for fishing in the upper Adriatic Sea. Around the cubies, the holes through which the anchor chains pass, concentric circles were painted, resembling the shape of eyes. These eyes were drawn on the bow of the boat because it was believed that eyes could guide the boat and navigation along the correct routes, avoiding traps and dangers. This tradition has been passed down over time to the present day.
In the town of Cattolica, land of the sea, to remember and celebrate these ancient maritime traditions, the eyes of Cubia have become the emblem of the city. Cubia is an apotropaic symbol of good luck, to protect the vessel, wishing good fortune and prosperity to sailors. The creation, inspired by this ancient good luck charm, also contains the magical power of auspicious blessings. The opulent emotion of feeling happy, because by inhaling its scents, the full strength of the sweetness of protection from a supernatural hand that shields and pampers us is released.
The fragrance opens with a bouquet of citrus fruits, where the Lemon from Sorrento and the Bergamot from Calabria echo, embraced by Brazilian Orange. This sparkling head rests on the sweet taste of Romagna Peaches, counterpointed by the pungent scent of Black Currant. The sweet and opulent composition is grounded in rare and precious woods, such as the famous Atlas Cedar from North Africa, embraced by the seductive strength of Indonesian Patchouli and Indian Sandalwood. The Cubia fragrance will envelop you in an aura of sweet protection, just like it does for the ships of our Sea.
