Recept neodoljivosti | The Recipe for Irresistibility
Venecijanska škola
Nakon što je udahnuo mirise cvjetnih polja oko
Grassea i usavršio svoj dar u jednom od tridesetak
laboratorija koji djeluju na tom području, krenuo je
Lorenzo u osvajanje svijeta. Godinama je bio najvažniji
kreator parfema u Parizu, metropoli mode i estetike,
gdje je surađivao s najvećim modnim i kozmetičkim
kućama. Postavši tako jedan od najtraženijih svjetskih
stručnjaka odlučio je pokrenuti vlastitu proizvodnju.
Lorenzo je podrijetlom iz Venecije, a upravo je grad na
laguni, na čudo mnogih, kolijevka moderne proizvodnje
parfema. Svima je poznato da je u XVII. stoljeću
industrija parfema doživjela procvat na području
Francuske, gdje se za vrijeme vladavine Luja XV. sva
raskoš aristokracije pokazivala i kroz svakodnevno
nanošenje skupocjenih mirisa ne samo na kožu
tijela, već i na odjevne predmete, lepeze i namještaj.
Međutim, malo tko je upoznat s činjenicom da je
1551. godine Talijan Eustachio Celebrino, neugledni
stanovnik Udina, napisao prvu knjigu posvećenu
kreiranju mirisa i tiskao je u Veneciji. Osnove izrade
parfema sežu, dakle, daleko u povijest, a sve ostalo su
varijacije, jer je baza i danas u eteričnim uljima koja se
dodaju u alkohol.
The Venice School
After inhaling the scents of the flower fields around
Grasse and perfecting his talent in one of the thirty
laboratories that work in that area, Lorenzo set out
to conquer the world. For years, he was the most
important perfume designer in Paris, the metropolis
of fashion and aesthetics, where he cooperated with
the leading fashion and cosmetic companies. Lorenzo
comes from Venice, and it is this city on the lagoon
that is the cradle of the modern perfume production.
It is well-known that the perfume industry flourished
in France in the 17th century. During the reign of Louis
XV, the profusion of aristocracy was shown through
everyday application of perfume, not only to body
skin, but also to clothes, fans and furniture. However,
few people know that an Italian, Eustachio Celebrino,
a plain inhabitant of Udine, wrote the first book
dedicated to perfume creation and printed it in Venice
in 1551. Therefore, the basics of perfume production
are very old, and everything else is just a variation,
because, even today, the base is in the essential oils
added to alcohol.
Miris je ono što se pamti
Lorenzo Dante Ferro svakoga dana stvara nove mirisne
note. Ima on nos kao i svi mi, no za razliku od nas koji
možemo razlikovati stotinjak mirisa, on ih razlikuje
dvadeset puta više. Kreiranje parfema vještina je na
kojoj se dugotrajno radi i uvijek trebate biti za dužinu
nosa ispred konkurencije. S točnim sastavom parfema,
koji se može sastojati i od dvjestotinjak različitih
komponenti, upoznati su tek njegovi kreatori koji ga
ljubomorno čuvaju. Ferro je kreirao i liniju posebnih
parfema za interijere, a najveći interes pokazali su
upravo hotelijeri kako bi svojim gostima upotpunili
dojmove s odmora. Dobro je poznato kako svi žele
kupiti ono što lijepo miriše. Losioni za tijelo, slatkiši,
prostori trgovine ili ureda bit će popularniji ako se
uz njih veže ugodan miris. Kvalitetan parfem dugo
ostaje u zraku i sjećanju, a vaš nos, iako nije poput
Lorenzova, sigurno će primijetiti da se radi o nečem
nesvakidašnjem.
A Scent to Remember
Lorenzo Dante Ferro creates new scent notes every
day. He has a nose just like everybody else, but in
comparison to us who can recognize about a hundred
scents, he can recognize about twenty times more.
Designing a perfume is a skill that is developed over a
long period of time and you always need to be ahead
of your competition by a nose. Only the designers are
familiar with the accurate composition of a perfume,
which can contain as many as two hundred different
components. They guard it with jealousy. Ferro also
created a line of special perfumes for interiors, and
hotel-managers showed the greatest interest for them
in order to supplement the guests’ holiday impressions.
It is general knowledge that everybody wants to buy
things that smell nice. Body lotions, sweets, shop or
office space will be more popular if there is a nice
smell tied to them. A high-quality perfume stays in the
air and in the memory for a long time, and your nose,
though not like Lorenzo’s, will surely notice that there
is something out of the ordinary.
