The BOA MADRE fragrance is a tribute to René Gruau, pseudonym of Renato Zavagli Ricciardelli delle Caminate, a famous Italian illustrator.
Gruau took part in the revolution that began in 1947 with the New Look: the lines of female codes were rewritten. He joined his friends Dior, Givenchy, Balmain, and for them he created shapes and made advertisements, with women covered in ostrich feathers.
Gruau would say: "Line is the basis of all arts: a single line can express grandeur, nobility, sensuality, it is the synthesis of all sensations, the concentration of all knowledge."
The lines of the BOA MADRE bottle are women's hips, they are ostrich eggs. The egg is the representation of the primordial seed from which everything began, its iconographic use is found in all cultures.
I added fauna to the flora of Musa Paradisiaca: boa is a snake, or has ostrich feathers, while Mother Earth is the origin of life.
