Gabriella Chieffo

Variazione di Ragù Eau de Parfum

Gabriella Chieffo Variazione di Ragù EDP is a spicy eau de parfum for men and women. I can still see her face, parchment challenged by time. I can feel his liquid, living eyes and breathe his hands, smelling of earth and freshly cut herbs, of scorching sun burning skin. Hands industrious and never tired. Hands that do not feel fatigue and perhaps not even pain. I have crossed the threshold. I am there. A penetrating scent envelops me; it is a fragrance that sticks to you. That runs through you, almost as if I were transparent, almost as if I were porous matter. I feel the pearly white garlic sizzling in the oil with the chili and black pepper and...yes, this is the moment. -You have to be guided by the smell!‖ the echo in my head tells me. Split tomatoes, vermillion red, juicy, ripe and aromatic thrown inside. The air becomes saturated with an ancient, knowing, understanding, and at times romantic fragrance. She is carefully washing the freshly harvested basil from the rousts on the balcony. A basil with a mentholated, almost balsamic breath. Ragù Variation is a different fragrance, softer, more enveloping, warmer than the original Ragù. It tells of a more conscious and thoughtful love, whose passion is tempered by experience and life. More understanding because it is less visceral. The exclusive and non-repeatable, absolute but gentle love of a woman, of my grandmother.
