Earth, Concrete, Violet in Gasoline: 5 Avant-Garde Niche Fragrances

Nabucco (Russian: Nabucco) is a niche perfume brand owned by Turin-based entrepreneur Pasqualino Iofrida. The development of the first fragrance began in 1997, but the brand only launched in 2006.
At the core of its concept is the occult dichotomy of the world, expressed in the phrase "as above, so below." This concept is reflected in the packaging through a multitude of symbols placed on it. The wooden boxes are handmade in Italy, and the 60 ml bottles are placed in a heavy container made of two types of crystal—black and white, symbolizing the fusion of night and day, light and darkness, good and evil. The square facets of the bottle symbolize the Earth, while the inner round bottle represents the Moon. The stopper wand for application symbolizes the Pillar of Osiris (eternal connection between outer and inner) and the Sun. In the men's fragrance, the stopper is chrome-plated; in the women's, it is gold-plated.
The fragrances are released only in an oil solvent with a concentration of about 70%. In 2013, the brand introduced smaller bottles: 5 ml (Amulet) and 20 ml (Door). Also, since 2013, the outer packaging has changed: it now includes a secret compartment where you can hide a ring, bracelet, or earrings. Thus, Nabucco products also become containers for gifts for the most special occasions.
The brand has released three fragrances in total:
1. Nabucco, dedicated to King Nebuchadnezzar II, mentioned in all sacred texts, who ruled Babylon in the 6th century BC. The brand bears his abbreviated Italian name.
2. Amytis, inspired by the wife of the Babylonian monarch, known to us as Semiramis, for whom her husband created the famous Hanging Gardens.
3. Gamma, Phi, Lambda or ΓΦΛ, released in 2014, is intended for both women and men. Gamma, Phi, and Lambda mean square, protractor, and compass, which neither ancient builders nor modern architects could do without.
According to the manufacturer, each fragrance contains a large amount of natural ingredients, and they are made in the French tradition.
Since 2014, the brand has not released any new fragrances. Nothing is known about its existence.
