The fragrant embodiment of the Italian dolce vita
Rialto is about many things, but first and foremost it stems from the founders love for Italy. The country they travel to regularly is always an inspiration to them in so many ways. For its beauty but also it’s contrasts.
The scent, with Rialto being the name of a famous bridge in Venice, is inspired by the contrast of Italy, so well illustrated by this city in which you can be extremely uncomfortable in a comfortable way.
The trade that once was in the city. The silks, herbs, fruits and spices, sold on a busting square in ancient times… brought to the present in modern day Venice; a lively tourist attraction, with so many extremes.
And so is the rest of Italy too, extreme (historic) beauty and focus on aesthetics, but simultaneously the opposite in the places you find just beyond the pleasing places. The industrial areas of the cities, the interiors of the mid segment bed & breakfasts, the hospitals, the websites; rarely updated or modern, let alone visionary. A stark contrast to the design, the beautiful food, the inspiring fashion and the architecture.
The result of this contrasting inspiration is a striking fruity amber, where sweetness and spiciness are unexpectedly blended in an intriguing unique experience.
Be ready to feel comfortable in an uncomfortable way. To feel totally at ease and dive into hedonistic pleasure, whilst simultaneously gently pushed outside your accustomed boundaries by this creative edgy contradiction of delightful Bourbon vanilla and peppers & tolu balsam.
The heart of Rialto is elegant and soothing, with fig nectar, tea leaves and Osmanthus. The total creation is sensually grounded by naughty amber and creamy sandalwood.
Rialto is the fragrant embodiment of the Italian dolce vita. A parfum as a sweet spice market on the Italian hot summer nights. One of beauty of past times confronted vigorously with the new.
