Renaissance captain Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, together with his loyalty, spartan lifestyle, and moral commitment inspired this creation.  Imagine the smell of a military camp: the sweetness of wild shrubs, the smoke of the campfire, the smell of leather horse tacks. A powdery rose – symbolizing his secret mistress – rounds up an intense core of vetiver, the great protagonist of this perfume.
 
NOTES: artemisia, caraway, honey, bulgarian rose, narcissus, iris butter, beeswax, cederwood, vetiver, patchouli, oakmoss, leather.
 
This is an Extrait de Parfum, so use sparingly as the concentration is 25%. It has great longevity (an average of 12h).
