Spiritica | Leonarda | Extrait de Parfum
Leonarda is the first fragrance in Spiritica's Crime Collection, a conceptual series from the Italian house built around figures from criminal history. The house frames it as a narrative work rather than an easy wear.
The idea came from founder Daniele Muratori Caputo, working with Ariosto; the pyramid was composed by Paolo Cerizza. It opens clean and strange, Marseille soap against a peppery accord with a caustic edge. The heart turns gourmand and unsettled, Chantilly cream and homemade biscuits cut with raspberry syrup and a metallic note. The base is dark, oud with chocolate and a sulphurous, alchemical facet.

Common Questions
What are the notes in Spiritica Leonarda? Soap, blood orange, black pepper and a blood accord at the top, whipped cream, biscuits, raspberry and metallic notes in the heart, and oud, sulphur, dark chocolate and ambergris in the base. Composed by Paolo Cerizza.
Is it a gourmand? A very unusual one. Cream, biscuits and chocolate sit against soap, metallic notes and sulphur, so it is deliberately unsettling rather than sweet.
Should I sample it first? Definitely. It is one of the most unconventional scents in the Spiritica line. Start with the 1.5mL sample of the perfume.
