Elleboro Ligure

Elleboro Ligure by Dedé Arte Profumata is a Citrus Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Elleboro Ligure was launched in 2023. The nose behind this fragrance is Denise Meles. Top notes are Chinotto, Ginger, Bitter Orange, Lemon, Artemisia, Basil and Coriander; middle notes are Soap, Grapes, Hellebore flower and Black Currant; base notes are Sandalwood, Moss, White Musk and Styrax. It is a deliberately proud and shiny fragrance, which tells us about the verticality and contamination of the Ligurian territory. Liguria is the territory in which I have chosen to live, it is an austere and tiring land but which knows how to give fruits and perfumes of infinite beauty. Just think of the colorful houses of the Cinque Terre, the privilege of sipping an ancient Sciachetrà secretly offered by the real farmer, the sunsets overlooking the sea, the sensual charm of the caruggi, the houses on a human scale, small and composed, set on land that does not even seem habitable due to its narrowness and slope. Here the vision becomes perfume opening with wild herbs, herbs that accompany grandmothers' kitchens, citrus peel that thrives in the winter sun. A floral accord of Hellebore is impregnated with white, it tells us the story of the women who went to wash the white sheets at the washhouses in the country lanes, we seem to hear the chatter in the background, it is soft, in these places there is little talk because effort wins over words, but something is perceived in a whisper: they are the prayers, the base notes that are tinged with Styrax and Sandalwood, which illuminate the landscape with an essence that is the need for pride, that strength necessary to experience these places magical. A white, crunchy, invigorating perfume. A hellebore as a symbol of courage, as a flower that grows in the cold of February and which exudes the charm of the frontier lands.
