Where am I? Am I still dreaming or is it reality?
Sogni narrates that suspended moment between dream and real life, that instant when our mind and heart are still in a distant place, and we feel lost, confused, as if suspended...
With Sogni, I have expressed my love for Japan, memories of past journeys, my passion for Kawabata's literature, Kurosawa's films, and bonsai.
I attempted to tell a new story with a warm, woody fragrance, my Japanese dream.
One day, long ago, I dreamed of creating the perfect woody fragrance, where different woods would narrate time, the passage of life itself, once again a challenge, a fragrance that could be unique, moving, and engaging. Sogni is the realization of my desire, an immediate experience, incredibly close to reality and the nature of things. An aesthetic devotion to nature.
The opening of Sogni is a blend of Tatami wood and Japanese Pine needles, we find ourselves in an ancient ryokan in Kyoto and the rain has ceased. A warm bowl of rice is beside us, reminding us of life's simplicity, its purity. Our attention brings to the nose the green, clear, and transparent note of a bamboo grove, while the floral note of Peony is an emotional haiku. An instant preluding the awakening of our soul from the dream.
Finally, the lights of this dawn envelop the woody notes of Sandalwood, Cedar, and the typical Kodo ritual accord, incense. A journey into the beauty of Japanese harmony.
"This fragrance is dedicated to my dear friend, Makoto Horisaki."
[Sogni was conceived, created, and arranged, listening to R. Sakamoto's album Async and reading the works of Y. Kawabata]
