Amara Vita

Marking the eighteenth creation in the collection and the house's first gourmand, Amara Vita translates the bittersweet end of a love affair into an alchemical, comforting scent narrative. Conceived around the emotional sanctuary of cocoa as a philosopher's stone, this fragrance captures both the sweet sensation of romance and the quiet, healing serenity that follows heartache.

The composition opens with an irresistible burst of bitter bergamot, blood orange, and sweet raspberry, grounded by rich coffee and cocoa absolute. At its heart, cocoa unfolds into powdery iris, creamy sandalwood, and warm tonka bean absolute. The scent dries down into a complex, nostalgic base where vanilla, patchouli, and bourbon vetiver merge with resinous benzoin, amber, musk, and deep accents of leather and oud.
