Inspired by the drawers of the sacristy of the basilica of Santa Rita da Cascia.
Hello Rita, vessel of love, painful bride of Christ, you are born from the thorns of the Savior, beautiful as a rose. This is the phrase, carved as a greeting on the central beam of the facade of the basilica.
The olfactory memory refers to the Saint of her, in January 1457, while she was ill in her monastic cell in Cascia, she asked a cousin to bring her from Roccaporena a rose from her land. Tradition states that God granted this wish and Rita's relative was able to pick for her a rose that bloomed in winter, among the snow.
The MEMENTO collection features fragrances that unveil places and treasures, each inspired by renowned locations around the world celebrated for their faith and devotion.
Derived from the Latin word meaning "remember," MEMENTO reflects a profound connection to memory and spirituality. The term is pronounced by the priest shortly before celebrating the rite of Mass, within the sacristya sacred space used not only for preparing the Mass but also for storing liturgical vestments, sacred objects, and relics.
