“THE SENSE OF SMELL CAN BE EXTRAORDINARILY EVOCATIVE, BRINGING BACK PICTURES AS SHARP AS PHOTOGRAPHS OF SCENES THAT HAD LEFT THE CONSCIOUS MIND.”– THALASSA CRUSO
 
NOSTALGIA collection is a series of nostalgic moments that bring out good memories from the past. Transports us to our childhood, good times that we want to relive over and over again. Smell and memory seem to be so closely linked because of the brain’s anatomy. Due to scent passing through this area of the brain, emotions, memory, and scent become intertwined. Smell and emotion are stored as one memory. Scent is instrumental to feelings of nostalgia, safety, and comfort. Pleasant memories put us in good moods, and being in a good mood helps to reduce stress.
 
PORTOFINO
 
I'm in the heart of Portofino, sipping Negroni at a charming café, overlooking green valleys sprawling towards the azure sea. The scent of lemon trees and fresh herbs fills the air. As I sip and observe, Italians engage in conversations, waving their hands with passion. Through the cobblestone streets a man on a Vespa speeding, to reunite with his lover. I am fully immersed, savoring la dolce vita.
