Debuting at Pittti Fragranze on September 14 is the 14th “stone poem” in Oliver Durbano’s evocative fragrance collection. Unlike many of his past perfumes over the past 14 years, Olivier Durbano Pyrit Ana Tra is based on the alchemy of syllables which represent Transcendence, Memories and Illumination rather than a gemstone. The number 14 has numerological and personal significance. His perfumes, all made by hand in Grasse, find harmonies in the natural and spiritual realms. Olivier Durbano Pyrit Ana Tra is a study in the crossing between worlds, higher self and the divine. In Olivier’s own poetic words, the intent of Olivier Durbano Pyrit Ana Tra:
“An Alchemy of syllables, three syllables, the first ones, Pyrit Ana Tra,
The fourteenth is ONE
Temperance, Vibration of the world of the invisible
Essence in search of Pure Energy, passed though the fire of 13 lights.
Subtle Angel, Consciousness of the soul-of-life,
Let flow soft and deep Light like a balm in peace of mind …
Winged Angel from the world of the spirit, volatile of the Alchemists, oscillating from Gold to Silver, from the sun to the moon, from the visible to the invisible, the manifesto of the power of transmutation
Imagination of our five spiritual, unconscious senses…
Harmony of the thirteen Virtues and Powers, Invocations, Intentions …
Pure movement of the lentisque pistachio, profound mystery of an oud carried in the enigmatic intuition of the nargamotha…
If Fate is to be undergone, Providence is given by the Imagination from above; greatness, harmony and light
Stone of the inner evolution, the feelings, beyond the Ego, perseveringly.
Sow the Talents in the sun, achieving …
Transcendence, Dream PYRIT
Soft first name derived of Hebraic Hannah, the Grace …
The primitive meaning of Anima is breath, wind, then, breath, life, spirit, soul … Forefathers, Memories [ANA
A line … Through the veil of union
The Man, crossed, Lightning, Glistens
The Man, from the the shadow to the Light, by the Power
Illumination TRA".
