The original formula of SPOTURNO 1921 comes from the old books of olfactory creations of Veronique Spoturno ancestor's, the father of modern Perfumery.
This visionary and aesthete creator found a subtle balance between the powdery, floral and citrus notes, underlined by traditional animal infusions used in these early days of modern fragrances.
Designed by interior designer Tristan Auer a two-leaf metal chapel case hosts the precious 100 ml numbered cristal vial of Spoturno 1921 pure perfume extract. Using the "kintsugi" technique, reputable "Atelier Etoile" has given life to the Chapel with an outer decoration of large and small emerald crackles linked by a white gold kintsugi.
Each and every Chapel is unique and celebrates the very first "oriental" perfume created in 1921 by the father of modern Perfumery thanks to its deep mineral emerald hue. This rare fragrance made in Grasse has been reinvented by Christopher Sheldrake.
The ground glass stopper contains at its core a water lily, crafted with a blowtorch by master glass artist Adrian Colin (Meilleur Ouvrier de France).
The flower was directly inlaid into the mass of transparent glass in the flame. Each petal is shaped and placed one by one with absolute precision. Verreries Waltersperge performed the final steps in this exceptional artisanal process : the grinding and polishing of the bottle and stopper.
The ultimate in luxury and craftsmanship, the bottle - faceted and carved by light - is sealed with a gold thread using the traditional baudruchage technique, performed by Véronique Spoturno herself, who was trained by the Dames de Table, one of France’s greatest perfume houses.
Produced as a limited edition of just 20 pieces worldwide, the Chapelle case is intended for perfume enthusiasts wishing to own a piece of history of Maison SPOTURNO.
