Fiamma.

Fiamma, Italian for “flame,” was born in 2016 from Andrea Thero Casotti’s fascination with the meeting point of firelight and the soul. Moresque, a house that translates Moorish geometry into scent, asked for a composition that could echo the dance of visible flame and invisible spirit. The perfumer answered with a blend that starts on a crisp, green iris‑laden spark, then ignites with juniper and cypress, setting the stage for a warm, resin‑rich heart.

The choice of iris gives the opening a powdery, almost mineral edge that contrasts with the sharp pine of juniper and the resinous bite of cypress, a nod to the intricate stonework that inspires Moresque. Myrrh and patchouli were layered to bring a sacred, earthy depth, while honey, amber and vanilla soften the blaze, creating a sweet‑balsamic veil that feels like embers caught in a soft wind.

The first ten minutes blaze with the green, slightly metallic iris, quickly chased by the aromatic snap of juniper berries and the dry, woody whisper of cypress. By the half‑hour mark the heart awakens: myrrh spreads a smoky incense cloud, while patchouli adds an earthy, almost chocolate nuance that grounds the flame. As the drydown settles after an hour, honey and amber melt together, sweetening the composition without muting its edge. Vanilla and musk linger like lingering smoke, while leather and resin emerge in the background, giving the scent a leathery, animalic finish that clings to clothing for the next eight to ten hours, turning the wearer into a quiet ember that glows long after the lights dim.

Since its 2016 debut, Fiamma has become a cult favorite among collectors who prize its paradox of bright iris and deep amber. Wearers often cite its ability to transition from day‑time intrigue to night‑time warmth, placing it alongside other Gold Collection pieces as a sweet‑resinous staple in niche wardrobes.
