In the world of luxury perfumery, Pantheon Roma stands out for its unique blend of history, art, and olfactory brilliance. On November 1st, 2018, this esteemed Italian niche perfume brand unveiled its olfactory creation, Annone, inspired by the intriguing tales of the Italian Renaissance. This perfume is not just a scent; it's a journey through history, embodying the essence of the Spice Route to the East and celebrating the remarkable story of ANNONE, a majestic white elephant that graced the court of Pope Leo X.
Pantheon Roma's fragrance collection is a homage to the most romantic stories of the Italian Renaissance. Following their initial success with fragrances like Donna Margherita, Il Giardino, Notte d'Amore, and Raffaello in 2013, the brand expanded its line with Trastevere in 2015, Dolce Passione in 2016, and Cosi Blu in 2017. Each fragrance is a narrative in itself, steeped in history and art.
Leone Fadelli, a representative of Pantheon Roma, shared the captivating backstory of Annone. The fragrance is a testament to powerful elegance and passionate astonishment. It features a deep, animalistic core, refined by precious ambers, subtle musk, exotic spices, and fine Eastern resins. The scent is both sensual and elegant, drawing inspiration from an extraordinary event in the life of the renowned artist Raphael Sanzio at the court of Pope Leo X.
In 1514, King Manuel I of Portugal, aiming to gain favor in the Spice Route domain, presented Pope Leo X with an extraordinary gift — ANNONE, a beautiful albino elephant. This rare and elegant creature immediately captivated the Pope, symbolizing opulence and grace. The elephant's arrival in Rome was a significant event, celebrated by artists and poets of the era, including Pasquale Malaspina.
Raphael, one of the most illustrious artists of the Renaissance, was commissioned by Pope Leo X to create a painting of Annone. Although the original painting remains a mystery, Raphael's depiction of this magnificent elephant still adorns the Vatican, a testament to its enduring legacy.
Annone by Pantheon Roma is more than a perfume; it's a narrative that weaves together the elegance of the East and the artistic spirit of the Renaissance. It's a fragrance that stays with you, capturing your heart and clinging to your skin. Described as a "white fragrance," it comprises a rich blend of spices, fruits, flowers, and woods. The perfume dazzles with notes of saffron, bergamot, and mango, over a floral heart of roses and irises. The base is a complex mix of nagarmotha, musk, and oud accords, creating a unique and unforgettable scent.
The composition of the fragrance is the brainchild of renowned perfumer Arturetto Landi. His expertise in blending diverse ingredients to create a harmonious and captivating scent is evident in Annone.
In summary, the fragrance is more than a fragrance; it's a journey through time, an exploration of history, and a tribute to the artistic brilliance of the Italian Renaissance. It's a scent that tells a story, evoking the elegance and allure of a bygone era.
