She killed, dismembered, and deboned three women. She used their fat to make bars of soap. She dried their blood in the oven and crumbled it into a paste to make delicious biscuits to offer her friends with tea.
She is Leonarda Cianciulli. Italy's first serial killer, also known as the "Soapmaker of Correggio," who, a victim of superstition and driven by a morbid and aberrant maternal love, sacrificed the lives of three women.
She believed she would thus appease the evil spirits who, according to a witch's prophecy, would kill her children.
Spiritica, the luxury paranormal perfume brand, wants to olfactorily tell the story of this complex historical figure and does so with LEONARDA: the first fragrance in the CRIME COLLECTION.
The conceptual idea was born from Daniele Muratori Caputo, the brand's founder, in collaboration with the influencer and expert in both perfumes and criminal psychology: Ariosto.
The perfumer who masterfully captured the olfactory pyramid's ideas is Paolo Cerizza.
A clear and unusual opening of Marseille soap immediately brings to mind something surgically clean and strange, combined with the effervescence of a peppery accord reminiscent of caustic soda. But the rich, dirty, intricate, powdery, and
sweetly gourmand undertone hints at something hidden: disturbing and soothing at the same time.
Leonarda is a powerful fragrance that communicates uniqueness and madness.
At the heart, the welcoming and succulent notes of fresh Chantilly cream marry with the typical scent of homemade cookies. These cookies, however, have a surprise: inside, raspberry syrup blends with the opening notes of coagulated blood, creating a bursting accord that is simultaneously sweet and ferrous.
But the real highlight is in the base notes, with an opulent and impactful Oud, which, blending with dark chocolate accords and alchemical notes reminiscent of sulfur, opens the door to a dark and unexplored realm.
A powerful extract that will leave a truly new, unique, long-lasting, and memorable trail on everyone.
With Leonarda, we want to go beyond the judgment of right and wrong: inviting people to see things with ever-new eyes.
Leonarda is a perfume that integrates madness with love. It highlights the subtle thread that ties crime to justice.
A controversial, brand-new, and polarizing luxury fragrance.
Despite having admitted to carrying out the three murders, Leonarda Cianciulli has always maintained her innocence under Italian law.
