The new Petali e Spade fragrance is dedicated to fragility not as a synonym of weakness, but as a true inner strength of each of us.
It is precisely recognizing one's vulnerability and living it consciously that lights up our inner flame, the one that leads us to innovation, change and full knowledge of ourselves. And it is precisely this awareness of the vulnerability of things and the fragility of our emotions that makes us ready and ready for anything.
This powerful delicacy outlines the olfactory profile of a woman behind whose apparent fragility hides a fearless soul and graceful ferocity.
The inspiration comes from Xiao Mei, the blind dancer protagonist of the film "The Forest of Flying Daggers", suspected of being the missing daughter of the head of the homonymous sect, imprisoned by the emperor's soldiers and then helped to escape by the captain of the militia . Her dance of the water sleeves (or "the step of the dancing echo"), which almost defies the gravitational laws, is pure visual ecstasy, but also the maximum expression of her inner strength that surprises us all.
These movements, although delicate, are actually explosive composure. A hypnotic dance can thus turn into a fight to the death, a branch become a deadly dagger, a bamboo forest an insidious prison as well as a makeshift weapon.
Petals and Swords is dedicated to all the Xiao Meis in the world: inside every woman there is a warrior, who advances with a firm step even on unfamiliar paths, who bends but does not let herself be broken by life's difficulties, who prefers to walk alone in the dark rather than in someone's shadow.
