Cartethyia
Composed for the hour light first floods the nave — salt in cold air, white lily opening over still water, amber warming the stone from within.
A Cathedralof Light
Beneath Rinascita stands a cathedral the sea has filled with light. Its vaults are cut from pale ice, its floor is a sheet of still water, and its great window burns without fire. This is the room the fragrance was built inside.
Cartethyia opens the way that nave opens — cold, mineral, enormous — then warms across the hour into something votive and near. Salt gives way to lily; lily gives way to amber and a thread of incense that stays on the skin long after the light has gone.
“I was given every name but my own. So I went to the water and took one back.”— The Blessed Maiden

Olfactory Architecture
Three storeys, read from the spire down. Open each to see what it is built from.
Wear-arc measured on skin at 22 °C. Extrait concentration means the opening is quieter and the drydown far longer than an eau de parfum — apply less than instinct suggests.
