Meo Fusciuni Varanasi Extrait de Parfum is a unisex amber oriental perfume.
Varanasi tells what has been left of India in my heart, my mind, my soul and my nose. Varanasi is a sacred and profane place of scent, rich in contrasts and meanings. I composed this perfume letting myself be guided by the visceral emotion I experienced the day I felt the sacred water of the Ganges in my hands, searched my olfactory memory and found the source from which everything was created. Varanasi is an olfactory mandala, where the aquatic and animal notes of Ambergris lull our souls. The ritual begins with the warm, red spicy notes of Saffron, Nutmeg and Cardamom. A vertiginous approach to the floral heart, amulets of Roses and Jasmine, a dusty, woody body of Ambrette and Cypriol. Like a Sadhu clad in white ash, the ritual takes shape amid the sacred notes of Nard, Incense and Gurjum. The perfume becomes a magical, uncompromising experience. A swirling chant rises in the Varanasi night, the temple, shadows walking around, Oud, Vetiver and a mystic leather chord, enveloping our bodies. Sounds of unknown instruments. On the slow river, dawn arrives, Varanasi is the place where spirituality sublimates the human being. Where souls will try to find refuge.
Varanasi is a non-place, sacred and profane. When you listen to Varanasi, imagine water, flowing through the bowels of the earth, touching the roots of everything, nourishing our soul. Varanasi Extrait de Parfum is a contrasting and magnetic fragrance, encapsulating the authentic soul of India.
