Elephant & Roses

"One late afternoon, while sitting at my desk writing my perfume formulae, I had a kind of vision: It merged the scent of the elephant’s image with a large field of intensely-colored roses, almost fuchsia. The elephants were running and trampling on the roses, dispersing a scent of flowers mixed with the strong smell of their bodies. This fragrance is derived from the blending of two different formulae, using the so called “dans le tiroir” method, by which I merged animal notes with skin and floral ones." ~ Maria Candida Gentile

(A note on the name's origin: The elephant comes from a remembrance of Indian and African colonies, and the rose is the British rose. An encounter between an elephant and the roses has got a twist of British humour to it.)
