TRAVELING TO

Built on the highest of five hills that rise between the upper Tesino valley and the head of the Chifenti river, surrounded by evocative steep gullies, Castignano appears with its unmistakable profile: a pyramid-shaped town dominated by a Romanesque tower with a soaring spire. This wonderful mediaeval hamlet is famous for various “arts”, including lace and copper artefacts. However, it is primarily known for the cultivation of green aniseed.

ANICE VERDE BENEFITS

Anise is a wild herbaceous plant that has been grown for centuries due to its aromatic and medicinal properties. In the Piceno region in particular, anise has been cultivated since the fifteenth century. And it is in Castignano that a particular ecotype of green anise is grown, richer in fragrance and sweetness, thanks to its extraordinary concentration of anethole. It is this ingredient that has a profound purifying, refreshing and moisturising action. In addition, flavonoids, fats and caffeic acid counteract the activity of free radicals through their antioxidant effect.

PERFUME FEATURES

Aromatic, fresh, green and slightly aniseedy. A creation that intensifies the spicy note of star anise, intersecting it with magnificent luminous flowers, fruity brushstrokes and creamy sandalwood, whose amber trail, enriched with benzoin, is enveloped in a splendid cloak of musk.
