INSPIRATION

(Ciavuru d'amuri)

In this perfume, I rediscovered my homeland: Ciavuru d'amuri was born in Sicily, at the southern tip of the world. In the austere silence, I await my moment. The scents of women envelop the house, the saltiness of wooden hooves. Mothers' robes smell of incense; mothers caress rosaries. I remember those late summer afternoons when, hastily returning from the sea, men and women would steal figs from the crumbling walls that faced the street. We would run towards the festivities; the grand doors of the churches would reveal their secrets, their fragrance. I recall those summer nights when, weary, I slept in my mother's arms; my hands still smelled of figs, but my love was guarded among the white robes, amidst the incense that enveloped her. I often think of my land, my roots; I bring to mind the years I spent in my land and the times when I would return, in the summer, during school vacations. My Sicily holds mixed emotions, sweet memories, and bitter feelings. I have constructed the olfactory memories of my Sicily. They carry in their fragrant body what I recognize most strongly in the scent of my land, like a newborn in its first moments of life, the mother's skin, her chest. Ciavuru d'amuri is my childhood, the time of youth, a dedication to mothers, to mine, to my mother's mother, and to Mother Earth, the generator of all our emotions. I remember the smell of the fig tree; it was large and created shade in the garden. The reflections of its light still bathe my eyes with emotion.
