Rudis

Death, blood, struggle await me. But freedom is worth all this, I am only a slave but I will be able to earn a new life. I will turn the tension that paralyses me into strength.

Rudis is dedicated to one great virtue: strength. Rudis is the name of the trophy given to the gladiators who won in the arena, a wooden sword, which was an instrument but also a symbol of freedom: the gladiator is no longer a slave! To overcome his fear before entering the arena, the gladiator was stunned with dried fruit cider and marc. But why are we talking about gladiators in the 21st century? Massimo Nobile thinks that today all professionals and small entrepreneurs have their own battle to face and win. That's why we created a fragrance that gave energy for this battle, mentally and physically.

The perfume inspired by this object, therefore, had to be a game of contrasts that alternated simultaneously: strength and sweetness, battle and freedom, life and death, virility and weakness. The box is very precious: only five craftsmen in the world are able to work leather in this way. The realisation process takes a long time and starts by taking the skin and soaking it. Then, with a piece of wood in the same shape as the bottle used as a guide, they take the skin still wet and wrap the first side around the wood and bake it in the oven. The next step is to dip the skin again, following the same process for each side and for the curves that form the box. After this complicated process, the seams of the stitches are not noticed and the skin is as compact as a piece of wood. In the last step, it is lacquered and cut into slices before being worked internally. The box can only be closed one way, depending on how it was cut. There are two points to guide you to properly close the lid. [#created] Created By [/created]
