This creation originates from the memory of a trip to the heart of the French Riviera, between the shimmering blue of the Mediterranean and the hills dotted with olive trees, in Saint-Tropez.
Paolo and Tiziana visited this town with its timeless lifestyle of gentleness and freedom and were inspired by the joyful and vibrant character of this seaside resort.
Saint-Tropez was a fascinating journey through the golden age of life on the Riviera in the 1960s.
In those years, the Italian and French Rivieras were the protagonists of an extraordinary cultural transformation: the life of the all-Italian playboys, known as Les Italiens, who were taking over the Riviera in the 1960s to the cry of “Bare feet, jeans, hair in the wind and go!”
This iconic image perfectly captures the defiant attitude and desire for freedom of the time.
These young people took over the Riviera with a daring spirit and a liberating attitude, embracing a lifestyle of relaxation and fun, while a blazing fire of passion burned within them, driving them to live every moment to its fullest.
When the film ‘And God Created Woman’ hit the big screen, it captured the hearts of audiences around the world thanks to the unforgettable young Brigitte Bardot.
Torpè is a tribute to the timeless glamour of that period, when Saint Tropez became a popular destination for the international jet set.
Torpè, on the other hand, was the name used by the resort’s trendiest ‘rebels’ in the 1960s.
This creation is a fresh, vibrant fragrance whose marine notes remind us of unforgettable summer evenings full of laughter with not a care in the world.
Each note is dedicated to the sea and its magic, a journey of the senses to one of the most fascinating places in the world.
Anyone wearing it can close their eyes and find themselves transported to the cobbled streets of Saint Tropez, amidst the laughter of children at play, the scent of the salty air and the warmth of the sun on their skin.
The fragrance opens with a fresh, citrusy bouquet, thanks to Reggio Calabrian Bergamot, Sorrento Lemon and Sicilian Mandarin, and combines with Marine notes, which add depth to the perfume.
The heart of the fragrance, the true essence of this creation, opens with the muted scents of Bulgarian Rose, Côte d’Azur Lavender, French Iris and Provençal Violet, intertwined with the delicate elegance of Saint Tropez Peony, the sweetness of Sicilian Orange and juicy Romagna Peach.
The entire creation is built on a solid foundation of fine woods such as African Ebony and Australian Sandalwood combined with Musk, Ambergris, Indian Patchouli and Tuscan Oakmoss, creating a beguiling and sensual base that envelops the wearer like a lasting embrace.
Torpè captures the vibrant, lush essence of the Mediterranean coastline.
Its accords are reminiscent of when the turquoise sea meets the sun-kissed olive groves, creating an unforgettable olfactory experience.
