Ericusa, Alicudi

From worldly Panarea we go west and meet Alicudi, the ancient Ericusa, the island of heather. To the sight of sailors arriving from the South it appeared all purple in the middle of the blue sea. Purple like the desire to please, to love art in all its forms and to adore the strong sensations that come from what surrounds us . Alicudi is not for everyone. In fact, it attracts only experienced travellers. The tourist who finds himself there by chance is disconcerted both by the harshness of the territory and by the effort required to travel it – it is an island made entirely of steps , but also by the fact that it apparently offers nothing. Instead, it is precisely in that nothing that there is everything, everything that an earthly paradise can offer. 

Ericusa is a perfume for an expert nose therefore, because to those who smell it it creates the same bewilderment that the Island creates to the passing traveler. It is not a perfume that reveals itself immediately, but like the Island it reveals itself only to those who decide to discover it. It is therefore a perfume that can be worn by a person of refined soul, meditative, who is at peace with himself, who goes to the Island to seek only nature, peace, tranquility. 

It is a perfume that reveals itself as extraordinary, like the Island and the people who choose it. 

It is a fusion of warm elegance that imposes itself with the exotic and fresh tones of ylang ylang from the Comoros Islands and the warm and enveloping tones of precious woods. Delicate notes of French violet and spicy notes of Slovenian juniper berries meet the intimate notes of Madagascar vanilla.
