Amai Arashiyama

Amai Arashiyama by Dedé Arte Profumata is a Woody Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Amai Arashiyama was launched in 2022. The nose behind this fragrance is Denise Meles. Top notes are Bergamot, Grapefruit and Rhubarb; middle notes are Bamboo and Sugar Cane; base notes are Cedar, Incense and Amber. At the opening, a juicy grapefruit leads the way to the round Bamboo accord. It is a very subtle play of shades and lights, a fragrance that relaxes but transforms into something more, a joyful meditative story. The characteristic of this accord is that it mixes with sugar cane, and it was like inserting a little heart leap, like wanting to remember that Arashiyama is a graceful place, where our thoughts become flexible, fluid. Amai Arashiyama means Sweet Arashiyama, this place is the most famous bamboo forest in the world and is located in Japan in the Kyoto area. Don't imagine a sweetish perfume, rather a well-trodden watercolor of delicate contrasts. A small note of rhubarb makes the composition more interesting, contributes to its natural evolution and is a tonic. Cedar wood, incense and amber release that depth that in my opinion every perfume needs. But that's not all: the natural elements and the absolutes that I wanted to use make everything vivid and iridescent. Like, for example, the Mediterranean pine absolute, which gives off a warmth all of its own, like the one you perceive in the Maremma returning from the beach on a July evening.
