Romea d’Ameor
Roméa d’Améor’s extraordinary line of seven scents is a tribute to real women throughout the ages who have touched history in tangible ways…women with distinct personalities who lived very different lives surrounded by the scents of their time, for whom each paid a fragrant tribute.

From the youthful exuberance of Venetian princesses to the soulful offerings to the Sun God of Incan priestesses and the indulgent milk baths of Nefertiti, each perfume is created around a real, historical character. The fascinating scent stories of these fragrances mixes history and fiction, taking the wearer back to the time of its inspiration and bringing each perfume to life.

The line marks the final masterworks of now-retired perfumer Pierre Bourdon (Frederic Malle’s Iris Poudre and French Lover, Davidoff’s Cool Water, Shiseido’s Féminité du Bois, Yves Saint Laurent’s Kouros, etc.), a fragrant and remarkable epilogue to his long and storied career.

The Princesses of Venice
Eau de Parfum - Les Princesses de Venise
by Romea d’Ameor

Venice, 1721: Famous choirs from all over Europe are arriving to compete in a contest held in memory of the inventor of opera, the late Claudio Monteverdi. The morning is mild, and the water-filled city is bathed in an atmosphere of early spring. The jumble of fresh fruits (orange, melon and pineapple) from the open market fill the air as composer Antonio Vivaldi walks the streets, seeking the choir of angels he’s heard in his wanderings but can never see. On the day of the contest, a pretty girl with a small bouquet tucked behind one ear leads her fellow singers to the stage and the composer recognizes his Venetian princesses on the first note. He’s struck by not only their music but the fresh, light and youthful scent that dances around them, and few weeks later, with the scents of orange blossom, black currant and raspberry haunting his soul, the maestro begins his masterwork, beginning with the Spring.
