Incense in Villa Medicis

Along the length of the artists’ workshops, with their large windows opening over the rooftops of Rome, run the majestic gardens of the Villa. A centre for encounters and for meditation, the residents delight in the subtle fragrances of lemon tree leaves, lavender and oregano flowers. The air thrills with the woody aroma of the tall cedars nearby, and the inexpressible fragrance of the ancient stones in the heat of the sun. Contains essences of Italian Lemon, Clove, Oregano, Myrtle, Clary Sage, Lavender, Wormwood, Rosemary, Cedarwood, Vetiver and Patchouli. Perfume designed with Françoise Caron.
