September 1757, Casino Venier, Venice.
In a hidden alley in the heart of Venice lies a small ridotto, a secret apartment for intimate affairs. A rosewood door opens into a room of pastel colors—pale pink, pale green, and pearl white. Suspended in a fragrant cloud of violet, rose, and iris, stucco carvings of frothy clouds, delicate garlands, and playful cherubs seem to dance in the soft flicker of candlelight. In the midst of this sensorial paradise, the strains of a mandolin emanate mysteriously from behind a wall, the player hidden from prying eyes. The subtle background melody intertwines with the hushed conversations and shared laughter of two lovers, enveloping them in the enchantment of their clandestine encounter.
A powdery floral fragrance based on authentic 18th-century cosmetic formulas.
