Perfumes of Nature: Parco 1923 Products and the Treasure of the Abruzzo National Park
The story of Parco 1923 began at the end of the 19th century when it was decided to stop the extermination of the Marsican brown bear, an important protected species; the commitment came to fruition in 1923, when the National Park of Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise, one of the easternest parks in Europe was established. This place holds unique scents of centuries-old trees and ancient forests, which act as protectors of rare and delicate flowers. Over the centuries, thanks to the isolation of these territories, nature has been preserved unspoilt, giving the world a treasure trove of biodiversity.
Parco 1923: The Synthesis of a Natural Eden
Parco 1923 is inspired by the intoxicating smells and colours of this natural paradise. The beauty of the rivers and streams, together with the area's endemic plants, has resulted in an elegant and delicate fragrance. Gentle stone and beech wood, local materials, help to imprison the botanical secrets and sensory memories of this unique place. Each bottle of Parco 1923 encloses a slice of paradise and part of the proceeds is donated to the Abruzzo National Park, contributing to its protection and conservation.
The Soul of Fragrances Parco 1923
The fragrances of Parco 1923 tell the story of the unique floral heritage of the Abruzzo National Park. Thanks to the expertise of the botanical experts and the local park rangers, a selection of endemic plants and flowers have been identified that characterise the fragrances.
- Wild Angelica - The Fragrance of Immortality: Wild angelica is a medicinal plant with unusual and pungent properties, used sporadically in perfumery. Its infusion was said to prolong life, and so it was sought along the streams that descended from the mountains of the Park.
- Rhamnus Berries - The Taste of Beech Forests: Ramno berries, with their intense dark purple colour, are particularly prized by the Marsican brown bear, which finds them at the high edge of beech forests.
- Honeysuckle - The Emblem of Elegance: The honeysuckle was chosen as the emblem of Art Nouveau for its elegance. It is a medicinal plant with a sweet and delicate scent, traditionally used to encourage dreams of love.
- Wild Thistle - Summer Flowering: Wild Thistle grows wild and its large, pointed flowers appear in early summer, lasting up to eight weeks.
- Red Lily - The Showy Beauty: The red lily is a showy plant with large, fleshy, red and orange flowers. With its intense, sensual and enveloping scent, it lives along the meadow slopes of the Park.
- Juniper - Aromatic Intensity: Juniper grows as far as the eye can see in the mountains of Abruzzo and is known for its aromatic and balsamic intensity. Besides being used in cooking, it has extensive uses in traditional medicine.
- Ginestra Odorosa - The Fragrance of Golden Warmth: Ginestra odorosa is a robust and highly visible plant with a rich, creamy fragrance reminiscent of honey and beeswax.
- Iris Marsica - La Delicata Fragilità: The Marsica iris is a rare variety of iris that grows fragilely in mountain pastures. From its rhizome, an invaluable essence is extracted, with a soft and persistent talcum perfume.
- Beech Wood - Keeper of Knowledge: Beechwood is one of the most representative elements of the Abruzzo National Park. With its warm and reassuring touch, it is the protagonist in the base notes of the Parco 1923 fragrances.
- Mayciondolo - La Pioggia d'Oro di Maggio: Mayciondolo, also known as "golden rain", has clustered yellow flowers that dangle like drops of gold during May. Its fragrance is intense and intoxicating.
- Wild Blueberry - Le Prelibatezze del Bosco: The wild blueberry, prized for its beneficial properties, has been part of folk medicine since time immemorial. With its fresh, lively, fruity and sugary scents, it is a unique essence.
- Tree Moss - The Enveloping Protector of the Woods: Tree Moss evokes the strength and security of the undergrowth. Like a benevolent protector of the woods, it envelops rocks and plants with its mantle.
- Wild Rose - The Spontaneous Rose of Italy: The wild rose is the most widespread species of wild rose on the Italian peninsula. With anti-inflammatory properties and rich in vitamin C, it has a slightly spicy scent, with citrusy hints of lemon.
- The rose hip has a slightly spicy scent, with citrusy hints of lemon.
- Scarpetta di Venere - L'Eleganza dell'Orchidea Selvatica: The Scarpetta di Venere is an elegant wild orchid endemic to the Abruzzo National Park, with noble red flowers. Rare and precious, it is also known for its phytotherapeutic and homoeopathic properties.
The Gentle Stone: The Heart of Nature
The strong link with the land is underlined by the presence of the Gentile Stone. This white limestone rock is located in the heart of the Abruzzo National Park, on the "Pietragentile" mountain, from which it takes its name. The 'Pietragentile' stone is naturally porous and becomes an integral part of the 1923 Park line. Over the centuries, it is been used to construct the historic buildings of Abruzzo, and today, thanks to its capillary properties, it captures the molecules of fragrances, gradually releasing their scent into the environment. Once the bottle has been used up, the stone ring can be stored and continue to diffuse the fragrance.
