History

AD 134, Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli, Italy.

The love that the Emperor Hadrian felt for his favorite Antinous was so deep that he commissioned thousands of sculptures to immortalize him after his death. Like the contours of a statue, the physical and spiritual presence of the body is defined by a fragrant silhouette. Here is the emperor remembering his lover: the touch and smell of him, the warm fragrance of skin, the soft musk on the nape of his neck. Paying homage to the beloved, as Hadrian did with Antinous, this fragrance captures the memory of the skin, evoking intimacy and closeness, living in our hearts and minds as an idealized aroma.
