The Malatestas were a noble Italian family, one of the most important and influential during the Middle Ages, who ruled the Lordship of Rimini and several areas in Romagna from 1295 to 1500. The origins of the dynasty were traced back by their courtiers to the times of the ancient Rome and the Scipiones.
The most important of this noble family was Malatesta da Verucchio, who became known as Mastin Vecchio due to his military and political skills, and also gave the name to the main tower in the castle of Gradara. In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the Malatestas conquered numerous cities in Romagna and the Marche, expanding their empire far beyond sight. Many Malatestas were skilled military leaders and exceptional strategists. The most famous of them all was undoubtedly Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, under whose leadership the family reached the height of fame and fortune.
This creation is inspired by the essence of nobility and strength, the main characteristics of the Malatestas, one of the most important families in Italian history. The fragrance opens with a bouquet of Italian citrus fruits, highlighting the Sicilian orange and the Calabrian mandarin, enhanced by the royal notes of iris root, the floral symbol of Italian nobility, the Florentine lily and the rare and precious iris root. This royal beginning rests on an intense and combative tapestry, where one can almost hear the sounds of drums. The freshness of Italian lavender blends with the sweetness of jasmine, while the strength of cedarwood and Tuscan leather is enhanced by the sparkling scent of pink pepper. The base is a triumph of strength and royal elegance, with a harmony of precious woods such as Cambodian oud, agarwood and red patchouli from India, enhanced by vanilla berries and musk.
An elegant and seductive creation that can capture the spirit of royalty in a drop of perfume.
