Olfactory and Conceptual Description
16 CURVE is the first fragrance in the world created for a motorcycle racing circuit, Misano World Circuit.
It was conceived to express—through its materiality and its trail—everything that happens between the asphalt and the heart, where speed, tension, clarity, and emotion become one.
The fragrance pays tribute to the world of racing: the adrenaline of the start, the power of the engine, absolute focus, and the freedom of the track.
It is a bridge between the circuit and the skin, dedicated to those who experience every curve as an emotion and are not afraid to be carried away by intensity.
The opening ignites with the sharp freshness of yuzu, evoking the electric tension of the starting line. Turmeric, warm and earthy, adds strength and grounding, while pink pepper brings a metallic shimmer, pulsing like rising adrenaline.
At the heart, the fragrance becomes more sensual and textured: oud, deep and slightly animalic, recalls the power of an engine at full throttle; leather, warm and refined, speaks of direct contact with the machine—the grip, the thrill; airy white flowers create a breath of space, a line of light that harmoniously contrasts the density of the composition.
In the base, the fragrance enters its most material dimension: sandalwood envelops with its creamy softness, guaiac wood adds a smoky facet reminiscent of hot tires and metal under tension, while noble ambergris leaves a magnetic, intense, and persistent trail—like a final overtake that lingers in memory.
A powerful yet balanced fragrance, designed to leave a mark without overwhelming.
