Olivier Durbano introduces Olivier Durbano SpeM PetraM (Stone of Hope), the 15th perfume under his eponymous brand. His perfumes, all made by hand in Grasse, find harmonies in the natural and spiritual realms. Debuting at Pittti Fragranze in Florence on September 13, 2019 is the 15th “stone poem” in Oliver Durbano’s evocative fragrance collection.
Olivier, a perfumer, a poet, a jeweler and a designer writes a beautiful prosaic introduction for Olivier Durbano SpeM PetraM 15, returning to his beloved incense which I will excerpt here.
“I discover the days
As if they were known to me
Without memory
Every moment is a return to the forgotten known
The Vase that our hands held strong
From hands to hands
Of this world or Another Gone so far, returned
From one bank to another Carried by the tire of wings Lying on the ground
At the feet of Him
lost, never forgotten…
the Head, the hair, the Feet, from Earth to Heaven,
Tent planted in a thousand Places from Alpha to solar Omega
Hidden, Loved, poorly loved by men,
Light born from the Stone, Flower-Leaves in Radiance, Treasure of Love and dust
Even more beautiful infinitely, Body & Ankh nestled in the Hollow of the Rock In the hollow of Itself
Light of the Light
For his humble Infinite Celestial Cave, sacred ritual to the freckle of the mixed Oil nestled in the Hollow of the Rock In the hollow of Itself
Scepter Love thrown to the Heavens, Horizon standing
Cup which welcomes the ultimate Essence Nard
Vial of Gold that radiates, flows, insane… Goddess of Hope
I love You Now, Change Love love
From mad men’s Gold to the Stone of Hope”.
Olivier Durbano SpeM PetraM “Stone of Hope” is a woody, spicy Aromatic perfume.
