Ithaka Eau de Parfum

Ithaka Eau de Parfum is the inaugural chapter of Versi Studio's ambitious olfactive trilogy, a collaboration between Mendittorosa and the literary legacy of C.P. Cavafy. This fragrance distills the essence of the poet's 1911 masterpiece—a meditation on journeys, discovery, and the sensual treasures encountered along life's voyage. Inspired by Cavafy's evocative imagery of Phoenician harbors, Egyptian wisdom, and exotic commodities—mother of pearl, coral, amber, and precious perfumes—Ithaka captures the spirit of wanderlust and intellectual awakening. Each application becomes a passage through distant ports and ancient civilizations, awakening the senses to beauty in its most refined forms. The presentation reflects this poetic ambition: a hand-crafted wooden cap crowns each flacon, while a hand-incised tablet bearing a solitary boat symbol honors the journey itself. Housed within Mendittorosa's signature wooden box—designed to echo the protective cases used for transporting fine art—Ithaka transcends fragrance to become a tangible work of olfactory literature, inviting the wearer to embark upon their own odyssey of sensory discovery.
