Kore Sacra

Kore Sacra by VIADEIMILLE SICILIA is a fragrance for women and men. Kore Sacra was launched in 2021. The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Koobus. The fragrance features Palo Santo, Pomegranate, Olibanum, Lemon, Bergamot, Benzoin, Rose and Narcissus. In the garden of Via dei Mille there was a pomegranate tree. In the autumn afternoons, under a red and golden sky, we used to play making pipes with its smallest fruits. It was like an initiation rite that unwittingly intoxicated us with the essence of those mysterious red beans. From Via dei Mille, pomegranates transported us on a journey to the center of Sicily, to the famous sanctuary of the goddess Kore, in Enna. And here, by chance, in the brotherhood of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we discovered a small treasure. Kore Sacra narrates this surprising intertwining, all Sicilian, between things, places and stories that are only apparently unrelated: the pomegranate, the myth of Kore, the embroidered hearts of the Sacred Heart, the heart of Sicily; between magic and devotion, past and rebirth. Kore Sacra enriches the KAOS collection designed to interpret the unique traits of the culture of the island that inspire its Literature, Cinema and Art. With its thousand-year history and cultural diversity, Sicily is a land of infinite paradox. Kaos is a real place in Sicily, a district near Agrigento with a Mediterranean landscape of moving sweetness. It is gentle and sunny, parched yet alive, terrestrial yet marine, enduring but evanescent. It offers an interplay of light and dark, fire and water, stillness and rebirth but is simultaneously a landscape of the mind, a metaphysical, ancestral space, unshakeably lodged in the soul of every Sicilian. The KAOS collection interprets this island territory in a way that is sensual and sublime, ethereal, yet intensely real. It captures the unique quality of the carattere siciliano where all opposites meet, and embodies the eternal contrasts that inspire the Literature, Cinema and Art of the island.
