* With apologies, here is a lousy machine translation of the description on the website: "My little Bianca, You have my eyes but I do not know if you have my nose. Even less if you'll be in one. But one thing I know, that in our world where everything goes too fast, the scents of the universe is one of the most wonderful of all. It is good to stop and smell the scent of a rose in a garden, the zest of a citrus fruit in summer. Smells do not cheat, Small Bianca, they speak to your heart, a language that always tells the truth. In this perfume, I put everything I love you, simple and beautiful scents that you may know what is true and essential. There is the freshness of mandarin and bergamot, the delicacy of the Bulgarian rose, and white musk that I love. This Cologne rose scent your clothes or skin of your mum when she takes you in his arms. Here. Thou hast a little of me to guide your first steps and to follow your path. Alberto, your grandfather. "
Update: a better translation, provided by Mizensir...
My dearest Bianca,
You have my eyes, but I do not know if you have my nose. And can’t tell if you will be a “nose” one day! Yet, I know one thing, in this world where everything is going so fast, the world of scents is one of the wonders of our planet. What a treat to stop by and smell the perfume of a rose in a garden or citrus fruits in summer. Scents don’t lie, dear Little Bianca, they talk to your heart in the language of truth.
In this perfume, I have infused everything I love; simple and yet beautiful scents for you to know what is true and essential: the freshness of the mandarin and bergamot, the delicate Bulgarian rose and white musk. This rose Cologne will perfume your linens and your mother’s skin when she will be holding you in her arms. There it is. For now on, you have a piece of me to help you grow up and follow your dreams.
Alberto, your Granddad
A lovely little note to his granddaughter. I wonder how old she is…no matter, she will feel special with a scent dedicated to her.
Agree, and I’m sure it is MUCH better when it hasn’t been machine translated.
The text is pretty darn good now. It’s so clear that he loves his granddaughter and wishes to develop in her an appreciation of scents and possibly his nose. The statement, “Smells do not cheat, Small Bianca, they speak to your heart, a language that always tells the truth” is an exquisite description of the world of scents.
I’m a bit of a nerd, so I checked the original, the translation isn’t that bad, except for some passages, which mean something else, (very tentative translation): “You have my eyes, but I do not know if you have my nose, or even if you might become one (“nose”). But I know one fact, and that is that in this too fast-paced world the universe of scents is one of the most marvellous. (…) I put everything I love in this perfume for you: simple and beautiful scents, so that you can recognize what is true and essential.(…)This rose cologne will scent your dresses (bedsheets?), as well as your mother’s skin, when she will take you in her arms (..). ”
beautiful, and now I want to try it!
I am sure the original text is lovely, and something she can treasure forever.
It’s not too shabby as a present for a granddaughter 😉
I bought the Bois Sycamore room fragrance in Paris once. Beautifully done.
Good to know, thanks!
I may have to buy this just because it is so darn touching.
What a BEAUTIFUL gift for Bianca!! Lucky girl to have a grandfather that loves her so much….
