Artemisia: The Masterpiece of Unapologetic Elegance
She was born into a world determined to define her, yet she defied it at every turn. Artemisia Gentileschi—the painter, the trailblazer, the woman whose brushes carved history—now lends her essence to a fragrance that demands attention. Bold, tender, and unapologetically sensual, Artemisia is not a perfume; it is a necessity, a statement, a signature that lingers long after she enters the room.
The Palette of the Protagonist: A Gourmand Legacy
Every note in this extrait is a brushstroke of Artemisia’s legacy: daring, luxurious, and impossible to ignore. It is a composition that balances the playful joy of the Italian countryside with the sophisticated weight of a Baroque masterpiece.
A Childhood Reflection: Sweetness Amidst the Stone
Rooted in the perfumer's own childhood pilgrimage to Italy, Artemisia captures the lighter, more indulgent side of the Renaissance spirit. It evokes the memory of vibrant strawberry stalls lining the sun-drenched piazzas and the creamy, comforting scent of traditional Italian desserts like Panna Cotta enjoyed in the cool shade of ancient stone galleries. It is the scent of a woman who found beauty in the darkness and translated it into a radiant, golden warmth.
The Verdict: Resistance in Radiance
This is not a perfume for the hesitant; it is for the woman who refuses compromise. Artemisia is an addictive, sophisticated journey that moves from the tart vibrancy of Nabilla Strawberry to a base of Sandalwood and Milk that feels as soft as a memory yet as enduring as a masterpiece. Once you wear it, nothing else will feel complete. It is irresistible, essential, and undeniably yours.
Age of Artistry
A fascinating historical parallel lies in the artistic lineage of the two icons Michelangelo and Artemisia: while Michelangelo defined the High Renaissance, Artemisia Gentileschi became the first woman ever admitted to the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno in Florence—the very academy founded under the influence of Michelangelo’s legacy. Just as our Michelangelo fragrance captures the marble and vine of the Renaissance, Artemisia represents the bold, unapologetic evolution of that same creative spirit.
The Descendant's Commission: Artemisia maintained a professional relationship with Michelangelo Buonarroti the Younger, the grand-nephew of the famous artist.
The Florentine Connection: He was a prominent patron in Florence who invited Artemisia to contribute to a gallery dedicated to his great-uncle's legacy.
A Historic Collaboration: Through their correspondence and his patronage, Artemisia painted "Allegory of Inclination" for the ceiling of the Casa Buonarroti, physically cementing her art within the house of Michelangelo.
