Once upon a time there was a man, a craftsman of gentle words, who used to travel the world embracing every fragment of life with his heart. In the evening, he sat beside an open window, waiting for darkness to envelop the existence of stars and hopes. In those silent and magical moments of shadows dancing by the candlelight, inspiration distilled emotions and memories, pouring their poetry onto immaculate pages.

“I write by the candlelight in a night wrapped by many layers of dreams” (Montri Umavijani, 1941-2006).

Pissara Umavijani pays tribute to Montri Umavijani, her father and one of Thailand’s greatest contemporary poets, spreading the beauty of his work through Parfums Dusita’ collection.

Splendiris, the eighth creation of Pissara, portrays the hazy and languid sensation of those moments kept between the pages of a dream. A fragrance in whose heart resides the passion of a whole life, surrounded by infinite layers of tenderness.

The golden splendour of the flame radiates from fruity brushstrokes of blood orange shaded in the honeyed sweetness of mandarin from Capua and in the aromatic yellow of Calabrian bergamot. Like memories awakened by the surreal beauty of an idyllic garden, a luminescent dew of Indian jasmine permeates the verdant transparency of violet leaves and fig leaves wrapping a nostalgic and romantic bouquet of iris, violet and May rose  in an ethereal moon glow. The vernal exuberance of violet outlines the soft and sinuous shape of an iris in full bloom, to which the carrot seeds convey a rooty and sweetly herbaceous touch, reinforcing its vegetal freshness. Touched by a gourmand zephyr of vanilla, the creaminess of orris slowly slides towards an earthy base of Haitian vetiver and cedar wood, without, however, indulging in the conventional powdery aspect of iris but, rather, enhancing its languid sensuality. The whispered, voluptuous and vaguely animalic embrace of ambergris comes as a caress, making the abstract perfection of a dream almost tangible. What lingers is the charming feeling of a flower painted on the evanescent vault of an indigo colored sky. Splendiris.

“It’s true that man should not give in to the dream; but without it, what is life?” (Montri Umavijani)

The official launch of Splendiris will take place on Aprile 18th at Parfums Dusita’ boutique (11 Rue de la Sourdière, Paris). The fragrance will be available by the beginning of May in selected perfumeries or on the OLINE SHOP of Parfums Dusita.
