Sikelia
Medusa Perfume
“Medusa, beautiful, innocent and enchanting. Medusa monstrous, beastly and damned.“
It tells the story of Medusa, inspired by the poison that pervaded her life and that of her serpents.
In Greek mythology, she is one of the three Gorgons, daughters of the sea gods Forco and Ceto. She is described as petrifying, repulsive, her head full of live poisonous snakes. A monster, but was she always a monster?
Ovid tells first of Medusa’s beauty and innocence, and later of her darkness. He emphasises the real monsters: deception, power, evil.
The darkness did not reign in Medusa; Poseidon and Athena unleashed it.
An intense perfume, an inner journey, between our lights and shadows. For the unpredictable, with the beautiful but damned spirit.

Ingredients
The carefully selected ingredients that make up our fragrances are a reflection of our land.
The pine, for example, chosen for its strong presence on the Sicilian coast, gives Nikos resinous and spicy notes. The Mediterranean rosemary present in Triskelè, grown on the shores of the Tyrrhenian Sea, a symbol of immortality and good fortune.
The smoky accord of Atma gives the typical smoky scent and the pyrogenic incense a diffuse, fresh and terpenic scent.
Morus Orange, its fragrance evokes the citrus paradise of the southern lands. Kalsa, intoxicated by the presence of neroli extracted from bitter orange flowers, is a refined ingredient with a balance of bitter and sweet notes.
Medusa’s apple, sweet but not cloying, is the perfumery element of fragrances from epic tales.
