Felino Extrait

A symbol of power for the Catalan bourgeoisie, a desire to demonstrate economic progress and success.

The lion becomes the expression of the entrepreneurial accomplishment.  Soft yet spicy notes of nutmeg and hazelnut blend with a heart of jasmine and black leather.  A small nuance of resinous sweetness of vanilla gives a slight crystallized taste and a dramatic overdose of Myrrh rounds up the opulent and memorable perfume.

This fragrance is part of BESTIAL COLLECTION.  Three intense and dark perfumes that unlock the universe of animal fantasy in Barcelona’s Modernism.

Modernism was embraced in Barcelona not only by art, but also by every field of culture, social life and politics. Its main form of expression was in architecture and its maximum ambassador was Gaudi. One of the most interesting facets of the architectural Modernism was its decorative aspect, characterized by the aesthetic freedom and use of eclectic figures, exotic animals and the fusion of mythological creatures and the real world. Modernist symbology wanted to break with the ways of the past and create new art, thus we find a renewal of shapes, especially in conspicuous animals.
