Ad Libitum

Description

Ad Libitum is a chypre perfume that captures the essence of a moment suspended between day and night, inspired by the breathtaking glow of sunset over Prague Castle. This fragrance is a poetic homage to the transition from the vibrant energy of daylight to the mysterious allure of the upcoming nightlife, embodying the elegance and nostalgia of Prague as it might have been envisioned by visionaries like Adolf Loos and Le Corbusier.

The journey begins with an invigorating burst of citruses, where tangerine and bergamot dance together in a vibrant, refreshing embrace, immediately uplifting the senses. This citrusy opening is then gracefully veiled by the sophisticated touch of aldehydes, adding a shimmering, airy quality that enhances the fragrance’s initial freshness with an elegant, effervescent sparkle.

As the heart of Ad Libitum unfolds, it reveals a majestic blend of cedar and jasmine, anchored by the delicate, floral notes of neroli. Cedar provides a robust, woody foundation that evokes the grandeur and strength of Prague’s architectural heritage, while jasmine adds a touch of softness and sensuality, mirroring the city’s hidden gardens and the fleeting beauty of dusk. Neroli contributes a subtle, sweetly floral whisper, adding depth and complexity to the heart of the fragrance.

The base of Ad Libitum is where the scent fully embraces its chypre identity, with the earthy richness of oakmoss mingling with the warm, sensual depth of musk and the dark, brooding elegance of patchouli. This foundation is both grounding and mysterious, evoking the cobblestone streets and ancient walls of Prague as night falls. The interplay of oakmoss, musk, and patchouli provides a sophisticated, slightly nostalgic finish that is as complex and memorable as the city itself.
