1472 marks the beginning of a fascinating journey in the Histoires de Parfums collection. This year represents the origin of one of the most outstanding works of medieval poetry: La Divina Commedia - the Divine Comedy, written by Dante Alighieri. This epic work is divided into three books: Paradiso (Paradise), Purgatorio (Purgatory) and Inferno (Hell).

The Divine Comedy is a vast metaphor about good and evil, sin and virtue, faith and disbelief. But above all, it is a profound exploration, if not introspection, of the reality of salvation and the afterlife. How else could one speak of salvation, the afterlife, its shadows and heights, as Dante has already done?

In its creation in 1472, Histoires de Parfums reinterprets the oldest story of humanity, the story of good and evil, by transforming sin into a fragrance. The line between heaven and hell, light and shadow, is delicate and nowhere more evident than in gluttony. A single bite is enough to transform a gourmet into a glutton, a spark of desire to draw the purest soul into the nets of lust.

1472 skilfully balances on this fine line, combining the radiant touch of mugwort with the sensual warmth of jasmine and ylang-ylang. A heart of spices and amber-like balsams unfolds, simultaneously sunny and somber, wrapped in the veil of incense.

This fragrance embodies fleeting moments and unstoppable desires that turn into passionate ecstasy. It is the scent of love teetering on the threshold of devotion, of elegance on the edge of vanity. 1472 is also the fragrance that captures the feeling of eternity, whether good or bad.
