Hamartia

Hamartia de V Canto perfume for men and women

The etymology of the term “hamartia” dates back to the ancient Greek tragedies. The word “hamartia” comes from the Greek word “hamartanein”, which means “to err”. Very often it is a tragic error which, in various cultures and over the centuries, brings us back to the deepest sin, but with a heroic aspect, because it derives from failing to achieve our goal, in rebellion against one’s duty or destiny, sometimes for a greater good or a irrepressible feeling. It embodies the pride of choice in an extreme struggle between morality and happiness; the emblem of guilt borne with dignity and awareness, because sometimes it is worth living one’s passions without compromise and remorse.

This creation encloses this celestial conflict among its evocative notes, in the thrill of irrepressible passion that echoes in the chest of those who know how to dare beyond good and evil. Hamartia opens with a persuasive and sweet, lovable and generous bouquet, where the strength of Italian Black Chocolate marries with Peruvian Coffee Berries, counterpointed by the energy of spices, such as African Cardamom and Indian Coriander, emphasized by the frothy Bergamot of Calabria. The decisive and strong head rests on an equally generous and opulent heart, where the hints of Turkish Caramel emerge mixed with Bourbon Vanilla Beans from Madagascar, accentuated by the decisive notes of Singapore Patchouli and the persuasiveness of Tibetan Osmanthus and Lily of the Valley of Tuscany. The base of the creation has robust and reverberant foundations, capable of giving an incredible persistence to the entire olfactory structure. Here we immediately perceive the gentle presence of Brazilian Tonka Bean and the peated emphasis of Vetiver from Haiti, united in perfect partnership, thanks to the silent scents of Musk, with the precious woods of Cuban Cedar, Indian Agarwood and Romagna Birch.

Hamartia is the creation that best embodies the heroic spirit of boundless passion, of burning and fiery love, sensual and seductive, capable of generating disturbance in the soul and excitement on the skin. Dedicated to those who have the courage to dare, without regrets or inhibitions, to embark on an epic journey towards the destinations of absolute pleasure.
