The first essence conceived by UNUM to celebrate the workshop where LAVS was born.
LAVS means excellence, a factory where arts and ideas together generate spirituality, beauty and mysticism.
LAVS, extrait de parfum is an hymn to the Spirit: the wood of roses, becomes custody of the senses, a protecting and accompanying energy. From this dark background, a mystic symphony of Oak Moss, Amber, and Tonka Bean, guide you toweards another fundamental ingredient of LAVS, Oppoponax, a sort of sweet myrrh, a plant that produces a purifying golden resin.
Deep inside LAVS we also find the notes of cloves, coriander and labdanum.
Egyptians used Labdanum as a component of their holy incense and it seems that the fake beards of the Pharaohs were made by goat hair soaked in this kind of resin. Labdanum is also called Gilead in the Holy Bible. His scent is very complex, amberish, antique like the smell of an old trunk full of dusty clothes, but his nuances can be close to the leather, to the sweet and honeyed, woody and smoked musk.
Coriander, native of Middle east, is an aromatic, medicinal plant.
The packaging, extremely accurate, has been conceived thinking of the Fibonacci numerical sequence and the measurement of the golden section. The golden rectangle, or “Divine Proportion " is the same also for perfume's boxes and caps.
The molded golden wood and parchment of its packaging are similar to slate stone. Important materials of the historical period that have been inspiring the first UNUM works.
