These are the storries I will tell and the reviews and interviews I will write about. It is the world of perfume.....

THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE BEAUTIFUL

With the launch of his new Not a Perfume Romano Ricci has extended his talent and love of perfume into home scents. Namely... candles. His first range consists of 3 candles elegantly held in simple silver cups. The shining silver against the creamy white candle wax is minimalist and classy.

 There are 3 exceptional aromas'
Lucifer Marilyn Mary Jane.

 Lucifer is not what you think.
 This is not the ‘bad’ but the ‘good’.
 For Romano the smell of forest on a misty day, pine trees and the warmth of a cosy blanket sitting near the fire is what Lucifer is all about. To Romano Lucifer is from the ancient Latin term meaning ‘bringer of light’. (‘Lux’ – light and ‘fero’ – to bear). Romano has given us sinners a different view on this subject. ‘If there is a God there must be a devil’ To be warmed by the light of an open fire rather than burn in hell is a more comforting thought.

 Mary Jane is a sweet name don’t you think?
 Well this cheeky pseudonym is another term for ‘hash’. Romano has re created the scent of this illegal weed with the use of Oud wood and pine resin. Its objective is to release a feeling of euphoria and happiness...Is this really the’ bad’?

 Marilyn is a softly spoken glamorous scent of iris and violet.
 It induces images of porcelain powdered skin and sexy red lips coloured to perfection belonging to the sweet sensual smile of the world’s most desired star of the 1950’s.This scent embodies the unique beauty that Marilyn Monroe was and will always be.

 Whatever mood you want to create or be part of, Romano Ricci’s range of candles will inspire you.
