I wonder what the synthetics are, as there are SO many super useful synthetics.
During a recent chat with Mr.Pregoni, he introduced me to a new "mysterious" project which has been in the making for the last three years. A new fragrance combining most of the house's hallmarks with 3% of synthetic notes. This is quite revolutionary for a perfumer that made of 100% natural ingredients, his main signature.
"A secret perfume", this is how I'll call it now, takes its inspiration from a bunch of the most successful releases by O'Driù (Linfedele, Laurhum, Lafro and Lalfeorosa) and pairs the main accords of the aforementioned fragrances to synthetic notes. For the first time, the fragrance will not be released in limited batches and will be available worldwide.
"A Secret Perfume" will be launched in early/mid 2013.

Great photo, where did that come from?
The thought of the mysterious Signore Pregoni incorporating synthetics is very exciting. I imagine his take would be very unique and I for one look very much forward to trying it.
musk are the most obvious choice. there are some natural alternatives to it though to some extent, like costus and ambrette. woody ambers, aldehydes and various modifiers could also be useful. Top note pleasant-ification , projection and longevity would be most obvious results he's after, as this will be available worldwide.
Yup! I'm intrigued![]()
Im definitely curious. Should be quite interesting.

Woah! Neat. That's what's on the box?!
This sketch is fascinating. I am going to guess that one of the things that he is going to do is put some "air" into the composition by use of synthetics? I love this direction! I can't wait for this.
MB, those are sketches, projects and ideas on how the bottle/composition should look lile...
here are a bunch of notes from the pyramid: Vanille, Patchouly, Rose, Jasmine, Poivre rose, Santal, Tabac + 1
rose, patchouly, santal, tabac...? I like it already.![]()
You mean no Hangman on the packaging. Now I am dissapointed.![]()
my my, the note pyramid is seems incredibly mainstream/classic. Which might be good though...
All the notes revealed (except one)
Vanille, Mousse arbre, Tonka, Jasmine, Rose, Orange douce, Mandarine, Cannelier feuilles, Tabac, Castoreum, Amber gris, Santal, Poivre rose.
Hmmm. A dry aromatic soft balsamic floral? OR NOT!! Who knows? It is alll very exciting though.
Meantime check this out if you haven't already http://www.odriu.com/ecommerce/store.aspx. You'll notice that the Linfidele 1003 is sold out...... for ever. I'm so relieved that I got mine in time!![]()
Its sounds kind of interesting to me. I wonder what the role of the citrus and rose play(major or minor notes) in the fragrance?

I'm looking forward, for the moment i absolutely adore the following: Vis et Honor, L'Infedele 1004, Laurhum, Lalfeogrigio, Laltrove 1001, Linfedele Haiku and JMT. I own furthermore an Xvert's sample but i have to test it yet.
Hi sweet Foustie, spend a nice day in your wonderful Scotland.
I hope laltrove 1001 goes out of stock soon :P
