Florilegium

Sweet nectar, flowing on naked skin.

Tuberose, the legendary white flower, a symbol of sensuality and mystery. Deep and warm here alongside gardenia, the two of them in an atmosphere that stays nocturnal and secretive. A forbidden encounter, under the clock of night.

Golden honey runs sinful underneath, the sacred nectar born of the union of bees and flowers. Beeswax and propolis melt down onto a bed of spices and incenses, with boozy rum and vanilla in among them. Chinese oud and Ojari incense add the depth, revealing both purity and excess.

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.
