I Quattro Elementi by Paolo Gigli

The brand of G Perfumes by the house of Paolo Gigli has prepared four beautiful fragrances in matching flacons for the upcoming autumn 2009. The fragrances stand for the four main elements of the nature which determine our lives: fire, air, water and earth. The perfumes carry Italian names and are poured inside colourful flacons made of finest Venetian glass, coloured by hand and decorated with gems and 24 carat gold. Colours of flacons refer to names of the fragrances: Fuoco (fire) has a red flacon, Aria (air) is transparent, Acqua (water) hides in a blue flacon, while Terra (earth) is coloured in green.

The first fragrance of the collection, Fuoco, is as passionate and temperamental as its fiery red flacon. Its opening is very fresh and fruity, made of bergamot, lime, apple, pineapple, lavender and plum. A floral heart composed of pink pepper, rose, cardamom, rosemary, clary sage, violet and geranium is resting on a sweet, woody base of patchouli, sandalwood, honey, vanilla, vetiver, amber, cedar and musk.

Transparent glass of Aria hides a clear, energizing and gentle fragrance. Its top notes are sweet and floral, introduced by pineapple, bergamot, apple, plum, lime and milk. An opulent, exotic heart is blossoming with jasmine, rose, freesia, gardenia leaves and lily of the valley. A base is filled with amber, vanilla, tonka, white musk, sandalwood, patchouli and cedar.

Those looking for a calm and peaceful fragrance which will provide them with tranquility will choose Acqua. Floral notes of a top incorporate strawberry, plum, blueberry, peach, pineapple, coconut, melon, raspberry, green apple as well as refreshing citruses such as mandarin, orange and grapefruit. Jasmine, lily of the valley, freesia and orchid take over the central part of the perfume, while a base unites white musk, cedar and sandalwood.

Fragrance Terra is the scent of steadiness and constancy in this collection. Its green flacon features fruity notes of a top (lemon, coconut, strawberry, milk), floral aromas of a heart (rose, orchid, sunflower, jasmine and lily of the valley) and a strong, oriental base of grey amber, white musk, vanilla, cedar and sandalwood.

The four fragrances from the I Quattro Elementi collection are available as 100 ml EDP, for 195 EUR each. You will be able to find them from October 2009 in exclusive perfumeries. (Cosmoty.de )
