Dreams

Where am I? Am I still dreaming or is this real?

Dreams tells the story of that moment suspended between dream and real life, that instant when our mind and heart are still in a distant place and we feel lost, confused, as if suspended…

With Dreams I told my love for Japan, memories of past travels, my passion for Kawabata's literature, Kurosawa's films and bonsai.

I tried to tell a new story with a warm, woody scent, my Japanese dream.

One day, a long time ago, I thought and dreamed of creating a perfect woody perfume, where different woods would express time, the flow of life itself. Once again, a challenge: a perfume that could be unique, emotional, and captivating. Sogni is the realization of my desire, an immediate experience, incredibly close to reality and the nature of things. An aesthetic devotion to nature.

The opening of Sogni is a tatami wood and Japanese pine needles. We're in an ancient Kyoto ryokan, and the rain has stopped. A warm bowl of rice sits beside us, reminding us of life's simplicity and purity. Our attention draws to the nose the clear, transparent green note of a bamboo forest, while the floral note of peony is a moving haiku. A moment that heralds the awakening of our soul from the dream.

Finally, the light of this dawn envelops the woody notes of sandalwood, cedar, and the typical accord of the Kodo ritual, incense. A journey into the beauty of Japanese harmony.

“This perfume is dedicated to my great friend, Makoto Horisaki”
