For Maria Perello, the notes of violet and orange blossom are highlighted by bergamot and jasmine, enhanced by sandalwood and white musk; a soft and silky musicality for a strong committed woman, especially through her work with the Nadal Foundation. A singular yet extravagant perfume, in short. For Rafael Nadal, the combination of specific notes leads to an essence subtly balanced with coriander, thyme, violet, lavender, lemon and artemisia - a plant from the Mediterranean basin honouring the player’s roots, complemented by an alliance of cedar wood, leather and sandalwood. His second fragrance is poetically linked with that of his partner through bergamot, jasmine flower, lilac, rose and white musk; notes of citrus, freesia and sandalwood complete the link. Speaking of the partnership, Anne-Lise Cremona, CEO of Henry Jacques said, “Meeting and spending time with Maria and Rafael to create their perfumes was a true pleasure and the beginning of a new chapter that the three of us wish to last. Our encounter was about sharing emotions with great mutual trust, and above all a desire to share a beautiful story and reflection of life that could be inspiring for many. And that is what perfume is all about”. Simply Abu Dhabi | 217
