SeedArte'
INFO: This extrait de parfum is inspired by the Greek myth of Leda and the Swan, making it a timeless elixir that unfolds uncanny eroticism.
Echoing Zeus' metamorphosis into a swan to seduce Sparta queen Leda, the sculpture-like bottle features a cap that transforms into a wing-shaped ring.
A fragrance of duality, light and shadow, awakening and surrender, Leda is an ode to transformation, where the sacred and the sensual merge in a single breath.
The golden wing adorning the cap is a commissioned piece by Italian artist Oriente Plazzi Marzotto, whose interpretation of the myth incorporates a ring as an extension of the skin, a talisman of transcendence and liberation.
SeedArte's Leda celebrates the volatile spirit that seeks union with the divine.
NOTES; LEDA opens with the radiance of Sicilian mandarin,
a spark of sweetness that lifts the
SENSES.
As the brightness settles,
the fragrance deepens into the earthiness of Spikenard, a Biblical essence revered for its ability to calm the
MIND.
At its heart, the addictive opulence of tuberose blooms. The nocturnal flower, both carnal and celestial,
is intertwined with the sensual darkness of patchouli, whose smoky depth lingers as an echo of aromatic
INCANTATION.
The foundation of noble woods
then unfolds, where Hiba and Cedar create a temple of stillness, grounding the composition in quiet
POWER.
KEY INGREDIENTS:Each ingredient is selected not only for its olfactory qualities but for its therapeutic essence—creating compositions that heal as they enchant.
Every blend, handcrafted in Florence , is an aromatic incantation, carefully woven from elements that speak of untamed gentleness and divine complexity.
Tuberose: Cultivated in secluded Provençal flower farms between ancient olive groves, our tuberose is hand-harvested during pre-dawn hours when its fragrance reaches peak intensity. Processed by one of Grasse's last master distillers using a technique dating to Louis XV's court, this extraction captures the flower's complete aromatic soul—its carnal sweetness and honeyed depths that conventional methods miss. In Leda, this exceptional tuberose creates the transformative heart, bridging earthly pleasure and spiritual transcendence with its paradoxical nature: simultaneously innocent and seductive.
Spikenard: Gathered from the pristine alpine meadows of Nepal's Himalayan heights, our spikenard carries ancient wisdom in every drop. This is the sacred oil that Mary Magdalene chose to anoint Jesus before his crucifixion—a powerful sedative known as the "oil of forgiveness." Its profound calming properties create a meditative sanctuary within the fragrance, inviting the wearer into a space of spiritual reconciliation and peace.
Tonka Bean: Harvested from ancient wild trees in Venezuela's Orinoco Basin by indigenous communities who have protected these forests for generations. Each bean is hand-collected after naturally falling to the earth and sun-cured using ancestral methods that preserve its complex aromatic profile. The result is an enchanting essence that weaves together notes of vanilla, almond, cinnamon, and clove with an ineffable warmth. In Leda, tonka bean provides a hypnotic, coumarin-rich undercurrent that softens the composition's edges while enhancing its sensual persistence—a sweet embrace that whispers of comfort and nostalgia while amplifying the fragrance's mysterious allure.
PHILOSOPHY:
We believe that fragrance is not merely an adornment, but a profound communication—a bridge between the seen and unseen worlds.
Each scent we create is an invitation: to listen, to remember, to reconnect with the primal intelligence that flows through all living things.
