Alessandra Castelbarco is a remarkable perfumer who founded Amarsi Fragrances in 2020, based in the United Kingdom. Her brand is dedicated to capturing lost emotions inspired by diverse elements like the allure of an Indian spice market, the splendor of a sunset over the Andean mountains, the freshness of the rainforest, or the magic of a chance encounter with a stranger.
Castelbarco is a free - spirited traveler. Her extensive voyages from Southeast Asia to South America have allowed her to explore and absorb the emotions and sensations of different cultures, which in turn enriches her personal growth and life perspective. For over 25 years, she has made Ibiza her home. When she first arrived, Ibiza was a vibrant melting pot, where unique people, art, culture, and spirituality converged. She even ran a small luxury hotel on the island for nearly a decade, which later became an iconic location after being featured in an important Dutch movie.
In her perfume creations, she showcases great creativity. For instance, London Fields, one of her works, is a powdery musk fragrance. Its composition includes a diverse range of ingredients such as narcissus, cyclamen, cucumber, cherry, melon, rhubarb, peony, musk, vanilla, cedar, and animal notes. The opening is a fascinating blend of floral notes, rhubarb, and a unique combination of cucumber and cherry, with melon in the background. As it develops, cozy musk and powdery vanilla emerge, and in the base, it turns woody, slightly animalic, and floral, with the scents of cedar, narcissus, and musk prominent. Another creation, Ibiza Wood, is a woody aromatic composition. It features notes of jasmine, lavender, orange blossom, neroli, magnolia, pine, fir, rosewood, and oud. Starting with an interesting mix of woody notes and a forest - like accent from pine and fir, it evolves with the addition of lavender, becoming more woody and balsamic over time.
Overall, Alessandra Castelbarco uses her experiences and creativity to craft unique olfactory experiences, inviting people to explore new sensations and memories through her perfumes.
