Inspirations

Ambrosia is the sacred nectar of the gods.
In ancient times, the word literally meant fragrant or perfumed, at a time when perfumes were considered to be of divine essence. Ambrosia was believed to be the only food of the gods, the source of their immortality and power.

Sensual, enveloping, and narcotic, Ambrosia is an unforgettable fragrance, reminiscent of the precious ingredients that once traveled along the Silk Road. Decadent and profoundly orientalist, it unfolds like a cursed poem, rich and extravagant.

The opening reveals an opulent and sensual rose, enhanced by touches of saffron and warm, vibrant, liqueur-like notes. Quickly, the heart is adorned with a golden radiance: a melting accord of honey and beeswax, dense and addictive, the emblematic signature of the Extra Virgo house.

The foundation is rooted in a deep and sacred material.
Spices, propolis, creamy sandalwood and Omani incense bring a resinous, woody and mystical dimension, leaving a warm, sensual and lasting trail on the skin.

Ambrosia is an intense and sensual honeyed floral oriental fragrance, designed for those who seek a luxurious, powerful and radically seductive perfume.

The perfumer: Alex Postiglione & Michel Marin

Michele Marin is a passionate Italian perfume designer, whose rich and eclectic artistic journey shines through in each of his olfactory creations. His fascination with perfume began at the age of thirteen, marked by a powerful memory: the scent of "Jardin de Bagatelle" by Jean-Paul Guerlain. This moment, which captivated him and sharpened his senses, became the starting point of a life dedicated to olfactory emotions.

Before devoting himself to perfumery, Michele explored the world of cinema, theater, and opera, collaborating with masters such as Franco Zeffirelli and Marco Bellocchio. These artistic experiences forged his sensitivity and enriched his creative vocabulary, laying the foundations of his unique and immersive universe. Determined to transform his passion into art, he trained in Paris at Cinquième Sens, then in Italy with a confirmed nose, thus strengthening his skills in composition and technique.

His professional career led him to become director of the Bar à Parfums-Olfattorio in Florence and to collaborate with the Etro house. In 2013, Michele founded Infragranti Parfumeur, a workshop where he develops personalized fragrances and creates prestigious collaborations with fashion, hospitality and decoration brands. Over the years, he has collaborated with houses such as Roy Roger's, Anima Mundi, and Francesca Dell'Oro, and has designed room fragrances for iconic locations such as the Castello di Ama.

His talent is crowned with success: his creations, including "Animal Café" (Extra Virgo) and "Else" (Francesca Dell'Oro), were finalists at the Art and Olfaction Awards, establishing his work within niche artisanal perfumery. Today, Michele Marin is a perfumer appreciated for his intimate, poetic and sensory approach, mixing technique, emotion, and a deep respect for the quality of the natural materials that he carefully selects.

Extra virgo

Extra Virgo is an Italian artisanal perfume house founded by Prince Alex of Limbin and based in the Montecucchi Castle near Florence. It is distinguished by its small-batch creations, composed of exceptional quality ingredients, inspired by the rich cultural and botanical heritage of the region. Each fragrance is an exploration of the contrasts between the sacred and the profane, capturing the very essence of life.

The Forbidden Botanicals collection embodies this philosophy, revisiting historical and controversial plants, such as cannabis, cocoa and tobacco. These ingredients, once linked to ritual or medicinal uses, are here transformed into new and daring olfactory experiences. True to its values ​​of authenticity and precision, Extra Virgo designs each perfume with carefully selected raw materials and composes them by hand at the château.

The brand also highlights unique artistic collaborations, such as the Spirito Santo perfume extract, created in a limited edition with Carnale magazine. This fragrance, blending Italian citrus and Omani incense, celebrates the duality of light and shadow.

Extra Virgo thus offers contemporary perfumery rooted in Italian tradition, but turned towards innovation, offering a sensory exploration of plants and ancient rituals.
