Description "Sogni (meaning Dreams) tells about that moment suspended between a dream and real life, that moment in which our mind and our heart are still in a distant place and we feel lost, confused, as if suspended.

With Sogni I told my love for Japan, the memories of past travels, my passion for Kawabata's literature, Kurosawa's films and bonsai.

I tried to tell a new story with a warm woody scent, my Japanese dream.

One day, a long time ago, I thought and dreamed of being able to create a perfect woody perfume, where the different woods tell the story of time, the flow of life itself, once again a challenge, a perfume that could be unique, exciting and captivating. Sogni is the realization of my desire, an immediate experience, incredibly close to reality and the nature of things. Aesthetic devotion of nature.

The opening of Sogni is tatami wood and Japanese pine needles, we are in an ancient ryokan in Kyoto and the rain has stopped falling. A warm bowl of rice is next to us, reminding us of the simplicity of life, its purity. Attention brings to the nose the green, clear and transparent note of a bamboo forest, the flowery note of the peony is instead an exciting haiku. An instant that preludes the awakening of our soul from the dream.

Finally, the lights of this dawn envelop the woody notes of sandalwood, cedar and the typical accord of the Kodo ritual; incense. A journey into the beauty of Japanese harmony.

This perfume is dedicated to my great friend, Makoto Horisaki." - Meo Fusciuni

[Sogni was conceived, created and arranged, listening in each of the phases to the album Async by R. Sakamoto and reading the works of Y. Kawabata.]

Olivia W. ★★★★★

The roasted green tea and tatami notes make this smell like a quiet tea room rather than a typical woody perfume. It stays close to the skin for hours, which I actually prefer over something loud.

Joseph C. ★★★★★

I didn't expect a fragrance to actually smell like a room — the tatami and rice absolute give it this dry, quiet warmth I keep catching on my sleeve hours later. The cedar and sandalwood dry down is where it really settles in for me, soft and woody without going sharp. Wore it three days straight, w

Brian ★★★★★

The roasted green tea and tatami notes hit first, then it dries down into this quiet cedar and sandalwood thing that lasts most of the day on my skin. Wore it to a dinner and two people asked what I had on.
