Boa Madre is Cristian Cavagna's second perfume. He dedicates this fragrance to famous Italian illustrator, René Gruau. The illustrations are inspired by the time in which René lived.
Like Cristian Cavagna's first perfume – Musa Paradisiaca – Boa Madre is created around tuberose. He deliberately chose to keep the top notes of both perfumes the same, with banana leaf, ginger and tuberose absolute making both perfumes opulent and chic.
The tuberose is also clearly present in Boa Madre, but in the base you will find many powerful ingredients such as oud, Tonkin musk, leather and civet. These give the perfume a somewhat "rawer" edge compared to Musa Paradisiaca.
Tuberose, Ylang ylang, Orange blossom, Sandalwood, Ambrette Seed, Oakmoss, Pink pepper, Ginger, Birch tar, Civet, Castoreum, Orris, Jasmine, Leather, Musk, Oudh

Floral
Floral fragrances celebrate the delicious scent of flowers, being the richest source of inspiration for perfumers. The use of flowers in perfumes have been used since antiquity; from soft delicate flowers like freesia, muguet and blossoms, to narcotic flowers like jasmine, tuberose and gardenia... Enjoy, and smell the roses!
