Noblesse rebelle
free from all constraints, expectations and compromises
Being true to oneself is Maria Candida Gentile’s “noblesse rebelle”; free to do do her own thing, free from all constraints, expectations and compromises, and this is the real luxury.
Maria Candida Gentile’s perfumery blends traditional classical methods learnt in Grasse, tweaking the rules along the way.
Alchemy and a Steiner education paved the way for innovative and uncharted olfactory journeys of discovery.
Nobility here means a place of ancient knowledge, which becomes avant-garde when the olfactory architecture of creating perfume is free of all conventions, and here we get the meaning of “rebelle”.
Living alternatively
reducing something of value to banality
Maria Candida Gentile fully believes in expressing herself freely and tenaciously follows the alchemical thread, fully respecting the natural rhythms of nature. She detests anything that reduces the art of perfumery to a mere fad, commodifying, going over the top, reducing something of value to banality. Creating a perfume is a sacred experience.
Maria Candida has embraced millenary trees possessing self healing properties in the Forest of Lankaran in Azerbaijan. She has pursued the imperceivable conceptual work of Marcel DuChamp, and has recreated the odours of leather and elephants.
She lives an alternative lifestyle, creating perfumes.
