The Story
A quiet path through nature’s secret places.

Monte Kush hums with green air, Pangea feels like damp soil after rain, Sacred Tobacco and Cacao Ritual carry smoke and warmth, and Animal Cafe lingers with a dark, skin‑close sweetness. These five extracts, crafted by Extra Virgo in small batches with a high share of natural materials, reveal the earthy calm and quiet intensity of the wild, distilled into rare liquid form.

Please note: vials in this discovery set are not filled to the top and fill levels may vary between vials — this does not affect the quality or usability of the product.

The Perfumer
The Brand

Extra Virgo's fragrances are formulated by H.H. Alex Postiglione, Prince Ne Min Gy of Limbin, grandson of Princess Yadana Nat Mai, Goddess of the Nine Jewels and heir to the last king of Burma. Postiglione was born in Florence and studied art history there, and spent a life cultivating a passion for plants and anthropology. All of the house's fragrances are made at the Castle of Montecucchi in Florence, chief among the family sanctuaries around the world where materials are grown and sourced.

Each one runs between seventy and eighty percent natural material, ages at least three months before blending, and cures another month before it is bottled by hand. The signature flacon is Italian crystal under a black Carrara marble cap. Continuing the family legacy passed on by Princess Yadana Nat Mai, Postiglione is involved with humanitarian and environmental projects aiding Myanmar, its natural biosphere and its people.
