Eau d'Italie Baume du Doge ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 23 September 2008 20 Comments

Eau d'Italie Baume du Doge fragranceEau d'Italie has launched their latest fragrance, Baume du Doge, named for the doges who ruled the Republic of Venice until its fall in the late 18th century:

Known as La Repubblica Serenissima, "the Most Serene Republic", Venice was the Merchant Queen of the oceans and gateway to the East for nearly ten centuries. Born out of the seas and magically built on stilts, its intricate maze of waterways dividing exquisite palazzi in constant competition to display their riches, Venice thrived under the rightful government of its elected leader: the "Doge", a prince among peers.

A universe of glorious luxury, of delicate mosaics, exotic enamels and luscious brocades, permeated throughout by the scent of ever-present spices lingering in the air, while the golden hull of the Bucintoro, the Doge's ceremonial ship, glided along the Grand Canal.

The fragrance notes include sweet orange, bergamot, cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, fennel, black pepper, myrrh, frankincense, clove, cedar, saffron, vetiver, vanilla and benzoin.

Eau d'Italie Baume du Doge is available in 100 ml, concentration unknown but probably Eau de Toilette. It can be found now at First in Fragrance in Germany. Update: see a review of Eau d'Italie Baume du Doge.

Other recent launches from Eau d'Italie: Magnolia Romana.

    I do hope Luckyscent gets this. I will definitely sample as I have enjoyed the Eau d'Italie line :-)

    Congratulations Robin! I noticed Self mentioned the Now Smell This blog in their latest issue.

    It will probably be good — I'm pretty sure it's by Bertrand Duchaufour.

    Decades ago the venetian firm Vidal (Pino Silvestre is their best known product) used to have a fragrance in compliment to the city. It was called “Cà d'Oro” (the name of one of the palazzi on the Canal Grande, so called because the facade on the waterfront was originally painted with gold leaf) . It was a very delicate citrus fragrance, mainly zagara or orange blossom, which was gone before you had put the cap back on the bottle after applying it. Eau de Lancome was heavy in comparison. Havn't seen it around in the shops for donkey's years.

    Hello, Robin — thanks for posting this. Do we know if this is Bertrand Duchaufour as well?

    Oh, that sounds lovely! Shame it can't be found now. I was only in Venice once, but was entirely enchanted (like everyone else in the world).

    OOOOooooh. Yep. Lemming. Although I read it as Baum (“Tree” in German) Dog, which made me think, HUH? Must be Miel du Bois for the dog set. Then my brain adjusted and I got it. And now I want it. It sounds heavenly. I even liked the Magnolia one. Cant' wait for this to get to Lucky Scent!

    well, actually it can be found, on e-bay, in miniatures sold at prices which almost beggar Clive Christian's . In its own time it was a drugstore product: how high can one rise in the world , if only one is fortunate enough to die in time, and gracefully! :-))

    You know, I'm not so sure one really likes Venice. It's perhaps time to let it sink, and remember it in its glory, rather than pretend that the present day funpark is the real thing. Not that I really could ( let it sink, I mean) but sometimes I think it would be an act of mercy. When it's over, it's over…

    But it's been something of a fun park for ages, not just in the modern day. I say keep it.

    Everyone seems to be reading it as something else, LOL! Not sure it was a good name choice for the English speaking world.

    Oh, this sounds delicious. Keeping my fingers crossed for XXXL saffron and spices!
    Although the one before this didn't work for me at all, cannot remember if you liked it?

    M, nobody can keep up anymore, and it isn't worth trying. I didn't like Magnolia & can't remember Sienne…
