The legendary Italian amulet believed to protect against the Malocchio, or Evil Eye.
Italian folklore teaches that luck is blind, while misfortune sees everything. When someone repeatedly encounters bad luck, the question is often asked: "Do you have the evil eye upon you?" According to tradition, negative energy can only be removed through ancient rituals performed by those who possess the knowledge to break the curse.
To ward off bad fortune altogether, Italians often rely on the Corniciello, a small red horn-shaped talisman resembling a chili pepper. Tradition states that it only brings protection and good fortune when received as a gift.
This fragrance captures the spirit of that protective symbol. It opens with an unusual and captivating blend of almond, red chili, sea salt, star anise, basil, and aquatic notes. The heart introduces cypress, guaiac wood, immortelle, and caramel, creating a fascinating contrast between aromatic freshness and gourmand warmth. The base settles into an elegant blend of patchouli, amber notes, vetiver, sandalwood, and oakmoss, leaving behind a sophisticated and distinctive trail.
