Aqua Adornationis is a glimpse into the family roots, core and values, with the aim of generating the same emotions in each perfume lover.
Aqua Adornationis is a glimpse into the Martone family's roots and love for art, quality and craftsmanship: from the historic pharmaceutical and cosmetic brand Marvin created by Vincenzo Martone, to ICR - the luxury perfume manufacturer founded by Roberto Martone, to the artistic perfumery brand LabSolue developed by the sisters Giorgia and Ambra Martone.
LabSolue and Aqua Adornationis symbolize craftsmanship in the world of perfumery: they combine research and experimentation aiming at creating passionate perfumes. With a contemporary, elegantly minimal and slightly vintage style, the glass bottles pay homage to the original design of Marvin, along with the decorations that embellish our labels and stoppers. We get inspiration from history and from a family passion that takes root in the past while looking forward to the future.
Aqua Adornationis tells an ever-changing story.
Aqua Adornationis: a disused Latin expression with a deep symbolic meaning that makes a comeback with a line of fragrances to adorn the spirit with new olfactive emotions. It travels through time and reaches the modern interpretation of craftsmanship in the world of perfumery.
The Latin name Aqua Adornationis was noticed by Giorgia Martone on the bottom label of an old perfume in the archives of Marvin, the company founded by her grandfather Vincenzo in 1940. By doing research herself, she discovered that that was the legal definition used to market fragrances in Italy at that time, and that it was mandatory to write it on labels just like today we use the French titles eau de toilette, eau de
cologne, eau de parfum and so on. The literal translation is already a poem itself: water to adorn – an explanation of the day-to-day use of perfumes, but also a declaration of their beauty within simplicity. LabSolue decided to keep the original name to celebrate past generations.
Aqua Adornationis brings the senses to close and distant olfactive roots, from the present and the past. Inspired by mysterious birth dates, each Essence emanates its own emotion.
From the experience of our perfumers, we adorn the spirit with a fusion of precious ingredients. One can feel nostalgic for a new scent. These fragrances require no introduction: the harmonies speak for themselves.
A vintage atmosphere with a contemporary mood, each creation presents unique connections, texture and stories.
