Numbers weave through our lives, and in Naples, they know exactly how this works.For luck to "kiss" us, we must know the right numbers. In the 19th century, Naples became the capital of the mystery we now call the lottery. To play the correct numbers, the Neapolitans had only one option: they had to turn to the Smorfia, or "the book of dreams." This book consists of 90 numbers, and is based on the belief that there is a symbiosis between dreams and numbers: everything has symbolic meaning, and reality itself is a collection of hidden meanings that must be interpreted. Clearly, according to their beliefs, this is closely connected to the divine and supernatural dimension, as it is generally the saints who dictate the numbers in dreams, offering a gift to the earthly beings.
According to Neapolitan traditions, every dream is associated with a number, and every number has its own meaning. With each purchase of La Dea Bendata perfume, you receive a randomly numbered perfume created by Neapolitan artists.
"We wanted to create a fragrance that attracts luck in every possible way, so we crafted the list of ingredients based on this logic. Bitter orange is a well-known symbol of luck, favorable omens, and fertility. In Sicily, marzipan has long been a symbol of wealth. According to tradition, pepper brings material things into one's life, which is why three types of pepper are present in the perfume. Among fruits, the pomegranate, with its many seeds, holds the most fortunate symbolism. White grapes often appear at our tables for their beneficial properties. The flowers of the lucky bridal bouquet inspired the floral heart notes. Amber, with its rarity, suggests wealth, just like the cypress. It is the true amulet of well-being and a shield against all misfortunes." – Cristiano Canali, perfumer.
