The Minstrel of the Court of Gradara enchanted whole villages with his lute and his lively, melodious voice, telling tales of mystery and adventure. His art celebrated the enchantment and beauty of the world. The fragrance he inspired embodies his eclectic, multi-coloured personality. It is a creation dedicated to all those who accept no compromise and who create their own destiny, listening only to their desires. Just as the Minstrel of the Court of Gradara enchanted whole villages with his lute and melodious voice, telling tales of mystery and adventure, this precious creation celebrates the beauty and enchantment of the world, creating an atmosphere of energy and vitality. Menestrello (the Italian word for minstrel) opens with persuasive Ambergris which mixes with Australian Ambrette and the vibrant freshness of Elemi from the Philippines, finally sweetened by Cranberry and Cassis. Such a powerful head sits atop an equally formidable heart, where Garda Lavender adds freshness, skilfully blending with the woody depth of Indian Cypriol and Benzoin Resinoid powered by the elegant strength of Cambodian Oudh. The base of the creation rests on the persuasive notes of Ambergris, emphasised by the aphrodisiac power of Musk, while Indian Red Patchouli gives a spicy accent to the creation, blending with the mysterious notes of Lebanese Cedarwood and Newfoundland Red Maple. Menestrello is a creation dedicated to lively souls, always looking for something new, living life as an adventure. This fragrance captures the complexity of beauty in every single drop of perfume.
