LEONARDA

$ 249

A dark gourmand fragrance inspired by Leonarda Cianciulli, the first Italian serial killer. Uniquely blends blood orange, homemade biscuits, and oud.

She killed, dismembered, and boned three women. She used their fat to make bars of soap. She dried their blood in the oven in order to crumble it into a dough and create delicious biscuits to offer to her friends with tea. She is Leonarda Cianciulli, the first Italian serial killer, also known as the 'soapmaker of Correggio,' who, victim of superstition and driven by a morbid and aberrant maternal love, wanted to sacrifice the lives of three women to appease the evil spirits prophesied to kill her children. Spiritica, the brand of luxury paranormal perfumes, wants to olfactorily tell the story of this very complex historical character with LEONARDA: the first fragrance of the CRIME COLLECTION. The conceptual idea was born from Daniele Muratori Caputo, the founder of the brand, in collaboration with the influencer and expert in perfumes and criminal psychology, Ariosto. The nose perfumer who managed to masterfully convey the ideas of the olfactory pyramid is Paolo Cerizza. A clear and unusual opening of Marseille soap immediately makes us think of something clean and strange, combined with the sparkliness of a peppery accord that recalls caustic soda and blood orange. But the rich, dirty, intricate, dusty, and sweetly gourmand background makes us predict something secretly disturbing and accommodating at the same time. Leonarda is a powerful fragrance, which communicates uniqueness and madness. In the heart, the welcoming and succulent notes of fresh Chantilly cream combine with the typical smell of homemade biscuits. The biscuits, however, have a surprise: inside them, raspberry syrup mixes with the opening notes of clotted blood, thus creating an explosive accord that is sweet and ferrous at the same time. But the real icing is in the base notes, with an opulent and impactful Oud, which, mixing with accords of dark chocolate and alchemical notes that recall sulfur, opens the doors to a dark and unexplored area. A very powerful extract that will not fail to generate in anyone a truly new, unique, very long-lasting, and memorable sillage. With Leonarda, we want to go beyond the judgment of what is right or wrong, inviting people to see things with new eyes. Leonarda is a perfume that integrates madness with love, uniting the thin thread that links crime to justice. A controversial and polarizing new luxury fragrance. Despite having admitted to carrying out the three murders, Leonarda Cianciulli always considered herself innocent in front of the law.
