EAU DE PARFUM 60 ML
THE INSPIRATION |
The light and carefree atmosphere of the Belle Époque. The setting: the beautifully flowered garden of the Spoturno family home, pioneers of orange tree cultivation on their estate, overlooking Ajaccio Bay, lulled by the sea breeze.
CREATIVE APPROACH |
" During the Belle Époque, Barbicaja was a renowned place on the coast of Ajaccio, coveted by all those who had ever been on the Riviera. Known for its beauty, it was a destination of European high society. François Spoturno bought the Barbicaja property that had been in his family for several decades along the Route des Sanguinaires. When Véronique shared this family memory with me, I had the idea of a perfume of carelessness, of happiness, which reveals a sea breeze, scented with flowers of orange, jasmine with a fruity apricot touch.
Barbicaja tells of the arrival of the fresh evening air. Marine, scented with orange blossom and crisp foliage, it evokes a kind of floral breeze, as fresh in my mind as the promise of an evening of happiness, friendship, relaxation, and seduction.
