Filì

Filì by V Canto, a perfume for men and women

Filì is a word that in ancient Greek means the Pure Kiss, the one with a capital K, because it rises to the state of purity that only true love can give, free from carnal and earthly impulses.

Enclosed in this precious bottle, entirely handmade by expert artisans applying layers of precious silver leaves, capable of making each one a unique piece in the world, we find the essence of silver inspired by a pure kiss. This sublime kiss has resonated through the valley of our beloved lands for centuries, because it is considered the most important and famous kiss in history. Its reverberating echoes can still be heard today from the rooms of Gradara Castle, where the lovers Paolo and Francesca lived their love story, inspiring famous artists from around the world.

Great works have been created inspired by this eternal kiss — poems, paintings, music, sculptures — and now, thanks to the precious V Canto Collection, artistic perfumes of luxury craftsmanship.

A love so strong and pure that even today, centuries later, it still resonates from the high walls of the Castle, known as La Rocca dell’Amore (the Fortress of Love): a place where romance and beauty are the essence of life.

Silver kisses, with their energizing freshness and elegant seduction, are the expression of this artistic creation that opens with a sparkling fruity and citrus aroma, where the effervescence of Sicilian grapefruit and Calabrian bergamot is sweetened on a bed of soft black currant (cassis) from Provence. This fresh, silvery-natured head embraces a very intense and complex heart, where notes of Nepalese cardamom combine with Sri Lankan cinnamon. These precious spices with a strong and decisive character blend together in a truly innovative balance with notes of Tuscan leather and precious Indian Cypriol. The entire work rests on a strong and powerful base, capable of guaranteeing exceptional longevity, where Indian Red Sandalwood and Cuban Cedar stand out, combined with Romagna Birchwood and Tuscan Oakmoss, skillfully blending with the bewitching and aphrodisiac action of rare Malaysian Purple Patchouli and legendary Ambergris.

This creation, with its silvery and sparkling character, contains within itself the pulsating spirit of the unforgettable kiss that will make every breath vibrate.
