A Yuzu Lemonade on a warm August afternoon.
On the Island, there are psychedelic places and scents, sublime atmospheres that only the heat can provide, the warmth of the wind, the light scent of citrus, yuzu lemonades, day and night, on the horizon.
In the same year, I returned after a long time to Sicily and Japan, it was the summer of '23.
The lemonades at the old port, children running in the sunlit streets of the kasbah, the warm wind on the beaches, a sip of bitterness every evening, dear friends from distant worlds.
I wandered through the sunlit streets of Mazara del Vallo, my hometown, watching the sun strike my body, my joy rediscovering childhood. It was all there, my land, my love, my friends, my closest bonds. Isola is a mental state of the human being, it is perceiving that all around there is water, and that the pure element keeps us isolated, yet protects us. It was the same summer, I walked the Japanese streets, seeking refuge in the shadows of tranquil gardens, listening to time, watching the warm August sun.
In Isola, I narrated my love for life, the contrast and union of two different cultures.
Isola is a citrus fragrance, telling through the notes of Lemon and Yuzu two important places of my life, of my memory.
Isola is a sparkling fragrance, like a can of Yuzu drunk in summer through the streets of Tokyo. Isola is like a fresh lemonade sipped in the Sicilian summer heat, gazing at the sea on the horizon, rich with lights and reflections, our happy gaze, bathed by the sun and the salty sea water. Isola is my turn towards the light. Fresh notes and absence of darkness, this is the great olfactory revolution of Meo in this fragrance, the great challenge. To narrate the happiness of an unforgettable summer, through a fresh Yuzu lemonade. I had a desire, to make this sensation infinite. Now everything is true.
[Isola was conceived, created, and arranged, listening to the albums of Franco Battiato and Kikagaku Moyo at each of these stages.]"""
