From Jijide
Beauty rituals and bright hopes, in a purple whirlwind of struggle and emotions, between enthusiasm and nostalgia.
Oltre tells the story of leaving with a clean and luminous fragrance that speaks of new beginnings. Lavender heart, steam accord, and metallic notes recall the decisive movement of a hot iron gliding over a white shirt. The accords of makeup and face creams, with Parma violet, bring vintage and nostalgic scents; beauty rituals passed down through generations. Musk and sandalwood are the embrace of distant affections. An homage to the color purple, symbol of feminist struggle, strength, and transformation.

FYI
Oltre by Edda Salvadori is a fragrance that encapsulates the beauty rituals and radiant hopes of those who choose to leave Italy, evoking a whirlwind of emotions between excitement and nostalgia. The main inspiration for Oltre is purple, symbolizing both royalty and rebellion. Initially a symbol of the suffragist movement in the early 20th century, purple has now become a color representing the fight against all forms of discrimination. This fragrance captures the essence of purple through its heart notes of lavender and Parma violet, two flowers well-known in perfumery but reinterpreted in a completely new way.
