She killed, dismembered and boned 3 women. She used their fat to make bars of soap. She dried their blood in the oven in order to crumble it into a dough and create delicious biscuits to offer to her friends with tea.
She is Leonarda Cianciulli. The first Italian serial killer also known as the "soapmaker of Correggio" who, victim of superstition, driven by a morbid and aberrant maternal love, wanted to sacrifice the lives of 3 women:
In this way she believed she was appeasing the evil spirits who, according to the prophecies of a sorceress, were to kill her children.
Spiritica, the brand of luxury paranormal perfumes, wants to olfactorily tell the story of this very complex historical character and does so with LEONARDA: the first fragrance of the CRIMECOLLECTION.
The conceptual idea was born from Daniele Muratori Caputo, the founder of the brand, in collaboration with the influencer, a great expert in both perfumes and criminal psychology, Ariosto.
The nose perfumer who managed to masterfully convey the ideas of the olfactory pyramid is Paolo Cerizza.
A clear and unusual opening of Marseille soap immediately makes us think of something clean and strange, combined with the sparkliness of a peppery accord that recalls caustic soda, but the rich dirty, intricate, dusty and sweetly gourmand background makes us predict something secretly: disturbing and accommodating at the same time.
Leonarda is a powerful fragrance, which communicates uniqueness and madness.
In the heart, the welcoming and succulent notes of fresh Chantilly cream combine with the typical smell of homemade biscuits. Biscuits, however, have a surprise: inside them the raspberry syrup mixes with the opening notes of clotted blood, thus creating an explosive accord that is sweet and ferrous at the same time.
But the real icing is in the base notes, with an opulent and impactful Oud, which, mixing with accords of dark chocolate and alchemical notes that recall sulphur, opens the doors to a dark and unexplored area.
A very powerful extract that will not fail to generate in anyone a truly new, unique, very long-lasting and memorable sillage.
With Leonarda we want to go beyond the judgment of what is right or wrong: inviting people to see things with new eyes.
Leonarda is a perfume that integrates madness with love. Which unites that thin thread that links crime to justice.
A controversial and polarizing new luxury fragrance.
Despite having admitted having carried out the 3 murders, Leonarda Cianciulli has always considered herself innocent in front of the law.
