Leonardo da Vinci, Studies of Flowers, 1483
Come slowly – Eden! Lips unused to Thee –
Bashful – sip thy Jessamines –As the fainting Bee –
Reaching late his flower,Round her chamber hums –
Counts his nectars –Enters – and is lost in Balms.-Emily Dickinson (1861)

Receiving the very first samples vials of Meo Fusciuni Spirito from the perfumer flooded my existence with warmth and light. He is the most gentle, warm, authentic and humble of men, cherished in my sphere. Meo Fusciuni Spirito is the second and final release of the Metamorphosis Cycle, inspired by the prose of Poet Emily Dickinson (1830-1886). Her poetry is immersed in nature and it was this portal through which Spirito enters.
Spirit, Christian Martin Weiss
The places we know, yet have never trod, the feeling that rises in us of the destination to be recovered, this is a Soul’s traversing. In Life we move inexorably to the place of Spirit, the Returning. Either taken inevitably by time or by the alchemical, Magnum Opus, sifting the internal chaf to find the kernel of Spirit. Within the manifesto of Meo Fusciuni Spirito, pulses a monastic quality, the revelations to be found when we are removed from the dominance of physicality to encompass contemplation. It conjures, the tranquil chants of silence, the simple whispers of forest and stone, the peace and knowledge that is so elusive in daily life yet tangible now in the folds of this fragrance.
‘In a never- before-seen- place,past the place I could only imagine.
Now I am there,Among fragrances never mentioned aloud, but felt in Spirit,
Where I have never been, nor you, perhaps only the Soul’s. – Meo Fusciuni 2019
Meo Fusciuni Spirito carries within its precious confluence of liquid form, encoding, to see with a sight beyond the visual.
Great Piece of Turf, Albrecht Durer 1503
The sweetened herbal entrance is transportive, reminiscent of a scattering of strewn meadowsweet beneath mediaeval feet. Purest Gregorian voices carry me, a tonal harmonic held, Angelica, Chamomile, Carrot and Herbal notes waft across a liminal field, borders and veils shift, presence of a balm upon a frenetic life. Time is irrelevant, a rite of passage the Soul sonorously calls for. A sorcerous blend, whose otherworldly heralds lay a path for woods, Cypress, Myrtle, Hyssop and Paper Notes.

"This is the land the sunset washes,These are the banks of the Yellow Sea;
Where it rose, or whither it rushes,These are the western mystery.
Merchantmen poise upon horizons, Dip, and vanish with fairy sails."
Extracts from Nature, LXIV, Emily Dickinson.
Le Moulin de la Beune, Mi Desmedt
Minutiae in an exaggerated stillness, where silence has voice and stillness a dynamism. That movement beyond the perceptions. Grass, leaves and flowers in a slow motioned choreography, each felt and heard. Virgin territory, awaiting my tread of feet, my fingers trace, my hearts pulse, each contact of my body releases this fragrance, diverse strands yet whole, intact a complex fusion and distillation of forested Spirit home. Cedarwood is soaring, elevated and sacred, Vetiver, Musk, Guaiac Wood, Elemi and Tonka Bean, a sensory landscape enrobing me in refined threads and weaving me in assimilation, I am everywhere and nowhere.
Notes: Angelica, Chamomile, Carrot, Herbaceous Notes, Cypress, Myrtle, Hyssop, Paper Note, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Musk, Guaiac Wood, Elemi, Tonka Bean

Meo Fusciuni Spirito is the longing, the dreaming, the knowing, the Returning, known yet unknown Revelation. Destination.
