Aprilis

A Sea of Roses

In Barcelona, the month of April is marked by an enchanting transformation, culminating in the celebration of Sant Jordi, a day when the entire city blossoms under a canopy of roses. Aprilisis inspired by this magical occasion, encapsulating the floral abun-dance and the spirit of love that pervades on April 23rd, a day dedicated to romance and literature. The name Aprilis, Latin for ‘April’ evokes the freshness and renewal that spring brings. It pays homage to Sant Jordi, the most beloved day in the city, where the air is rich with the scent of roses and the vibrant energy of spring in full bloom. On this day, the streets are lined with book stalls and flower stands, creating a picturesque scene that captures the heart of the city’s culture and its people’s passion for art and nature.

As the fragrance unfolds, it reveals a composition as intricate and colourful as the day it celebrates. The top notes of pink pepper and pear introduce a crisp, invigorating start, reminiscent of the morning dew on the fresh blooms. The heart of the fragrance is a tribute to the rose, the quintessential symbol of love, complemented by the delicate scents of lily of the valley and carnation, which add depth and complexity to the floral heart. Finally, the base notes of velvet musk, cedarwood, and grey amber anchor the fragrance with a warm, woody depth, leaving a lasting impression like the memory of a perfect spring day.

Aprilis invites you to experience the allure of Barcelona in spring. This fragrance not only captures the beauty of Sant Jordi but also celebrates the universal and timeless charm of love, as experienced in the heart of one of the world’s most significant rose gardens, the Parc de Cervantes.
