Story｜
Since Albert Fouquet discovered Ravello, on the Amalfi Coast of Italy, he sought few days of true relaxation every year at the Hotel Villa Cimbrone. This majestic place, perched on the cliffs, offered spectacular views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Ravello was an endless source of inspiration for lovers of music, art, history, and botany. In the gardens of the historic Villa Rufolo, Albert Fouquet spent hours admiring the floral beauty created by Lord Francis Neville, an old friend of his father, and Luigi Cicalese, his trusted gardener.
Richard Wagner, captivated by the exuberance of these gardens, found inspiration in them to compose his opera
Parsifal.
Years after Wagner’s death, in those same gardens, Fouquet had the privilege of attending an open-air concert. He was invited by Maestro Guido Rossi, a passionate patron and cultural promoter, known for his exquisite taste and love for the arts, who shared with Fouquet his
enthusiasm for the work of the German composer.
The magical atmosphere, infused with Wagnerian melodies and the fragrance of flowers, stirred within Albert a deep
creative inspiration. After this evocative experience and the awe he felt at the Giardino dell’Anima concert, Fouquet
returned to Villa Cimbrone.
That very night, he began to dream and experiment with the essences that floated in the air: the floral notes of the garden, the Mediterranean freshness, and the enchantment of an Italian night.
During the rest of his stay in Ravello, he created a perfume he named GIARDINO DELL’ANIMA, a tribute to the beauty
and inspiration he found in those unique corners of the Amalfi Coast.
